Jessica Christensen

Jessica Christensen serves as a key procurement professional within Navfacsyscom Northwest, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to deliver mission-critical infrastructure across the Pacific Northwest. She manages the acquisition of complex heavy civil engineering projects essential to naval readiness, including shipyard modernization, utility system upgrades, and environmental remediation initiatives. Her work ensures compliance with federal construction standards and Navy-specific operational requirements, focusing on the design, construction, and sustainment of resilient infrastructure. Christensen’s portfolio is exclusively centered on large-scale public works, requiring deep technical oversight and coordination with engineering, environmental, and facilities management teams. Her primary contractor relationships are with established firms specializing in heavy civil construction, notably Contrack Watts Inc., Absher Construction Co., and Environmental Assessment Services, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, performance-driven vendors with proven track records in naval infrastructure projects. Christensen consistently engages these contractors on design-build and construction management contracts, emphasizing quality control, schedule adherence, and safety compliance. Her procurement approach prioritizes technical competency and past performance over socioeconomic preferences, fostering long-term vendor relationships grounded in reliability and regulatory alignment. Christensen’s acquisition strategy reflects a 100% no set-aside orientation, indicating a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This pattern underscores her commitment to selecting the most qualified contractors based on technical capability and operational readiness, rather than socioeconomic criteria. While small business participation is not formally prioritized, all procurements remain compliant with federal open competition requirements. Her procurement activity is narrowly focused on NAICS 237990—Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction—encompassing projects such as dock rehabilitation, dredging, seawall construction, and infrastructure resilience upgrades. This specialization demands expertise in geotechnical engineering, marine construction, and environmental permitting, positioning Christensen as a subject matter expert in naval civil works procurement.
