Jessica Paucar

Jessica Paucar serves as a key procurement professional within Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Mid-Atlantic (NAVFAC SYSCOM Mid-Atlantic), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to deliver resilient, mission-critical infrastructure across Navy and Marine Corps installations in the Mid-Atlantic region. She manages a portfolio of construction and engineering acquisitions focused on facility modernization, utilities sustainment, and base readiness initiatives. Her work directly enables operational readiness through the execution of complex, federally funded projects under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a primary emphasis on design-build and construction services for naval installations. Paucar ensures compliance with statutory requirements while advancing strategic infrastructure goals through timely and efficient contracting actions. She maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including RYAN CONSTRUCTION CO INC, WEEKS-CASHMAN JV, APPLEDORE MARINE - CH2M JV, W. M. JORDAN COMPANY, INCORPORATED, and MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with demonstrated expertise in naval facility construction, mechanical systems integration, and site development. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, collaborative project delivery, and contractor accountability to meet stringent military standards for quality, safety, and schedule adherence. Paucar exhibits a strong and consistent commitment to small business participation, with 100% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity for small businesses while ensuring access to qualified, capable vendors capable of executing complex construction tasks. Her procurement patterns prioritize socioeconomic inclusion without compromising mission requirements, aligning with DoD and NAVFAC mandates to foster a robust small business industrial base. Her technical focus centers on NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), which accounts for two-thirds of her portfolio, alongside NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction). She specializes in procuring HVAC systems, building envelope upgrades, utility infrastructure, and institutional facility construction—domains requiring deep technical knowledge of military building codes, energy efficiency standards, and lifecycle sustainment planning.
