Johnnie Jacobs Jr

Johnnie Jacobs serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition and market research through solicitation, award, and contract administration. With a focus on construction and industrial supply contracts, Jacobs ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing agency mission objectives through transparent, competitive processes. Their work supports critical infrastructure and facility maintenance initiatives, often involving complex technical specifications and stringent performance standards. Jacobs plays a pivotal role in executing procurements that align with statutory mandates for small business participation and socioeconomic equity. Jacobs cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of contractors, particularly small businesses specializing in specialty trade contracting and industrial supply chains. While no single contractor dominates their portfolio, they consistently engage with firms possessing expertise in roofing, building exterior systems, and metal container manufacturing. Their approach emphasizes fair competition and vendor development, fostering long-term partnerships with qualified small and mid-sized vendors capable of delivering high-quality, code-compliant goods and services under performance-based contracts. A strong advocate for small business inclusion, Jacobs prioritizes socioeconomic set-asides, with nearly 75% of their acquisitions reserved for small business categories—45% under Total Small Business Set-Asides and 30% specifically designated for HUBZone concerns. This pattern reflects a deliberate strategy to promote economic opportunity in underserved communities and ensure compliance with FAR Part 19. Their contracting practices consistently favor firms certified under HUBZone, small business, and other socioeconomic programs, reinforcing federal goals for equitable access to government contracting. Jacobs specializes in procurements governed by NAICS codes 238160 (Roofing Contractors) and 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors), with additional focus on 332439 (Other Metal Container Manufacturing) and 423830 (Industrial Machinery and Equipment Merchant Wholesalers). Their technical expertise lies in construction-related services, including structural exterior systems, durable industrial packaging, and heavy-duty equipment supply. This domain knowledge enables effective evaluation of technical proposals and ensures contracts meet operational and safety requirements for mission-critical infrastructure.
