Shannan Jones

Shannan Jones supports the W071 Endist Seattle under the Department of the Army by managing critical civil infrastructure and construction procurements essential to military readiness across the Pacific Northwest. Responsible for executing complex acquisitions under the W912DW contract vehicle, Jones oversees the planning, solicitation, and award of contracts for heavy civil engineering, facility construction, and environmental remediation projects. Their work directly advances the agency’s mission to modernize military installations, ensuring resilient coastal, hydraulic, and institutional infrastructure through compliant, mission-driven contracting practices. Jones maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including RDC JPA Architecture, FinCantieri Marine Repair LLC, Walsh Federal LLC, Absher Construction Co., and Big River Construction Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in federal construction, marine repair, and institutional building systems. The contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, with a focus on firms capable of delivering high-complexity, mission-critical projects under stringent military standards and environmental regulations. A strong commitment to small business participation is evident in procurement patterns, with 62.5% of acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize opportunities for small businesses, including those certified under 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB programs, while maintaining competitive integrity and mission effectiveness. The remaining 37.5% of awards are open to all competitors, typically for specialized or large-scale efforts requiring unique capabilities. The primary technical focus lies in NAICS 236220 for commercial and institutional building construction, supported by significant activity in 333415 for heating, ventilation, and refrigeration systems, and 335139 for specialized lighting equipment. Jones’s expertise centers on procuring integrated building systems that meet Army installation standards, ensuring energy efficiency, durability, and compliance with federal sustainability mandates.
