Alyssa Jesmain

Alyssa Jesmain serves as a key procurement lead within the FA4417 1 Socons, a critical unit of the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining and modernizing airpower capabilities through mission-enabling acquisitions. She manages the acquisition of specialized infrastructure and communications systems essential to operational readiness, with a primary focus on commercial and institutional building construction projects that support secure airbase operations. Her work directly enables the integration of advanced radio and wireless communications networks, aeronautical navigation infrastructure, and integrated base defense systems, ensuring the Air Force’s tactical and strategic resilience across global theaters. Jesmain maintains consistent, long-term relationships with a select group of contractors including AANTILIA LLC, MARRERO, COUVILLON & ASSOCIATES, L.L.C., MATTHES PARKER LLC, L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED, and WALCO ENTERPRISES INC. These firms are frequently awarded contracts for complex construction and systems integration tasks requiring compliance with Department of Defense security standards. Her procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, technical proficiency in defense-conducive construction, and adherence to stringent military specifications, fostering collaborative partnerships grounded in performance accountability and regulatory compliance. She exhibits a singular and robust commitment to socioeconomic contracting, directing 100% of her eligible acquisitions toward Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSB). This deliberate focus reflects a strategic alignment with federal mandates to expand opportunities for underrepresented entrepreneurs while ensuring high-capability vendors deliver mission-critical infrastructure. Her contracting patterns consistently prioritize WOSB certification as a non-negotiable eligibility criterion, reinforcing equitable access and capability development within the defense industrial base. Her procurement portfolio is exclusively focused on NAICS 236220—Commercial and Institutional Building Construction—encompassing the design, renovation, and build-out of secure facilities housing command and control nodes, communication hubs, and defense technology installations. She specializes in projects requiring hardened construction, electromagnetic shielding, and integration with military-grade communications architecture, demonstrating deep expertise in defense-conducive civil engineering and facility modernization.
