Wencke Jacobsen

Wencke Jacobsen serves as the primary procurement lead for the Acquisitions - RPSo Frankfurt office under the U.S. Department of State, responsible for managing end-to-end acquisition strategies that support the operational integrity of U.S. diplomatic facilities worldwide. In this role, Jacobsen oversees the procurement of critical construction, facility maintenance, and essential services required to sustain the safety, compliance, and functionality of embassies and consulates. Their portfolio encompasses complex facility infrastructure projects, including structural upgrades, mechanical system installations, and health and safety system enhancements, ensuring alignment with federal building codes and diplomatic security standards. Jacobsen maintains established working relationships with a diverse set of contractors, including ATHORA BELGIUM, MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, SAIF CONTRACTING AND COMMERCIAL SERVICE, SUNFLOW ENERGY CORP, and SAFANA FALEH ALHUZALI. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced international and domestic firms capable of delivering high-complexity, mission-critical services under stringent security and logistical constraints. The contracting patterns indicate a reliance on vendors with proven expertise in global project execution, particularly in austere or politically sensitive environments. Jacobsen’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on maximizing technical capability and global vendor availability over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing mission readiness and performance over small business set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. The primary NAICS focus areas include 524114 (Direct Health and Medical Insurance Carriers), reflecting procurement of on-site medical services for diplomatic personnel, and 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), underscoring deep engagement in mechanical systems integration. Additional emphasis on 236210 (Industrial Building Construction) and 236118 (Residential Remodelers) highlights expertise in facility modernization and adaptive reuse of diplomatic infrastructure. Jacobsen’s technical domain centers on mission-critical facility lifecycle management within the global diplomatic security context.
