Maria J. Jensen

Maria J. Jensen serves as a key procurement 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. She manages a diverse portfolio of construction and facility support contracts, with a focus on commercial and institutional building construction, utilities, and base operations services. Her work ensures the readiness of naval installations through timely acquisition of resilient infrastructure solutions, coordinating closely with design teams, project managers, and field engineers to align contracting strategies with operational requirements. Jensen maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced federal 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 established firms with proven capabilities in complex construction, specialty trade execution, and aviation support services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous compliance with federal construction standards, and long-term vendor reliability over short-term cost savings. Her procurement activity shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This indicates a strategic focus on technical merit, capacity, and past performance rather than socioeconomic preferences, aligning with NAVFAC’s mission-critical timelines and high-risk project demands. Her primary acquisition focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), complemented by significant activity in plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contracting (238220), specialty trade contracting (238990), solid waste collection (562111), and other communications equipment manufacturing (334290). This reflects deep expertise in integrated facility systems, utility infrastructure, and operational support services essential to naval base sustainment and modernization.
