Birgit M. Jones

Birgit M. Jones serves as a secondary procurement liaison within the W6QK Acc-apg Director office under the Department of the Army, supporting the sustainment of mission-critical scientific and industrial infrastructure. She facilitates the acquisition of specialized analytical instrumentation, precision measurement systems, and industrial maintenance services essential to laboratory and field operations. Her role involves coordinating contract execution for technical services that ensure calibration integrity, equipment reliability, and operational readiness across defense science and engineering environments. Jones works closely with contracting teams to align procurements with agency priorities in maintaining high-accuracy measurement capabilities and mission-critical facility systems. She maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including EXACT MACHINE SERVICE, INC., MARS LABS LLC, KODEX, INC., and CLEAR ARMOR, LLC, which provide specialized industrial maintenance, laboratory calibration, and technical support services. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in defense-grade instrumentation, ruggedized equipment servicing, and compliance with military technical specifications. Her procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, technical certification, and adherence to federal maintenance standards, fostering long-term contractual engagements with firms capable of delivering just-in-time service and precision component repair. Jones’s contracting patterns reflect a primary reliance on open competition, with 63.3% of acquisitions issued without set-aside restrictions. However, she actively supports small business participation, allocating 33.3% of opportunities to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and 3.3% to HUBZone-certified firms. This balanced approach ensures competitive rigor while fulfilling statutory obligations to promote socioeconomic diversity in the defense supply base. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS codes related to analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing (334516), other measuring and controlling device manufacturing (334519), and electronic computer manufacturing (334111), reflecting deep technical expertise in procuring precision instrumentation, data acquisition systems, and embedded control hardware. She also supports related industrial maintenance services and specialized truck trailer manufacturing for mobile lab deployments, demonstrating a multidisciplinary command over defense science and engineering procurement domains.
