LCDR Jed Lomax

LCDR Jed Lomax serves as a key contracting professional within Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Southeast (NAVFACSE), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to deliver mission-critical infrastructure across the Southeastern U.S. and overseas operational areas. He manages the full lifecycle of construction acquisitions, primarily focused on commercial and institutional building projects, ensuring timely delivery of facilities that sustain naval readiness. His work encompasses pre-solicitation planning, contract award, and performance oversight for complex, high-stakes construction efforts requiring compliance with federal construction standards and Navy-specific design criteria. Lomax maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced federal construction contractors, including BL Harbert International LLC, Walsh Federal LLC, Sauer Construction, LLC, McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, and Kira Aviation Services LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven track records in delivering large-scale, mission-aligned facilities under tight operational timelines. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical competency, and past performance, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in accountability and regulatory compliance. Lomax’s procurement portfolio reflects a strict no set-aside preference, with 100% of his acquisitions competed full and open under general commercial and institutional construction authorities. This indicates a strategic focus on maximizing competition among qualified prime contractors rather than leveraging socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in his award patterns, subcontracting opportunities may still arise through prime contractor flow-downs. His technical domain is exclusively centered on NAICS 236220—Commercial and Institutional Building Construction—encompassing new construction, renovations, and infrastructure upgrades for naval installations. He procures services related to structural systems, MEP coordination, site development, and facility commissioning, demonstrating deep expertise in the regulatory and technical demands of federal construction contracting within the Department of the Navy.
