Jennifer Willis

Jennifer C. Willis serves as a Contracts Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement analysis and solicitation development to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and advancing the agency’s mission through efficient, transparent, and legally sound procurement practices. Her portfolio primarily encompasses engineering, architectural, and commercial construction services, where she leverages technical expertise to evaluate proposals, negotiate terms, and mitigate risk across complex, performance-based contracts. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Willis consistently engages with a broad base of qualified vendors, including large primes and small business subcontractors, fostering competitive bidding environments that promote innovation and value. Her procurement approach emphasizes fair and open competition, with a strong emphasis on compliance, documentation integrity, and post-award oversight to ensure contractor performance aligns with contractual obligations. Willis demonstrates a clear preference for unrestricted competition, with 93.3% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides, reflecting a strategic focus on maximizing market participation and cost-effectiveness. The remaining 6.7% are awarded under Total Small Business Set-Asides in accordance with FAR 19.5, indicating a measured but intentional commitment to small business inclusion without compromising procurement efficiency or technical requirements. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and 541310 (Architectural Services), with significant activity in 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction). She routinely procures design-build, professional engineering, and construction management services, demonstrating deep familiarity with technical specifications, performance standards, and delivery methods such as design-bid-build and integrated project delivery. Her expertise ensures that acquisitions align with federal infrastructure and facility modernization priorities.
