Capt Jexenia Bennett

Capt Jexenia Bennett serves as a key procurement lead within the FA8723 Aflcmc Hbqk C Bm, a critical unit of the Department of the Air Force responsible for advancing aerospace defense systems. She manages the acquisition of high-integrity technical services essential to modernizing radar, surveillance, and command-and-control architectures, with a focus on sensor integration, data fusion, and secure computing environments. Her work directly supports national defense missions by ensuring timely delivery of cutting-edge capabilities that enhance early warning systems and operational resilience. Capt Bennett handles complex professional services contracts requiring deep technical expertise in aerospace engineering, signal processing, and cybersecurity infrastructure. Her contractor relationships are primarily with specialized professional services firms possessing advanced capabilities in defense systems engineering, software development for embedded platforms, and mission-critical systems integration. While no single vendor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with proven experience in classified aerospace programs and DoD compliance frameworks such as NIST SP 800-53 and CMMC. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, rigorous technical evaluation, and vendor accountability in high-stakes operational environments. Capt Bennett’s contracting activity reflects a strict preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions designated as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on technical merit and mission readiness over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the high-security and specialized nature of her programs. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, all vendors must meet stringent certification and clearance requirements to qualify. Her procurement activity is exclusively concentrated under NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—reflecting her specialization in advanced technical services rather than hardware or manufacturing. She procures systems engineering support, algorithm development for sensor fusion, secure software lifecycle management, and mission simulation services critical to next-generation air defense architectures.
