Charolyn Jackson

Charolyn Jackson serves as a key procurement professional within the Defense Logistics Agency’s Land and Maritime organization, responsible for managing critical acquisitions of mechanical, electrical, and fabricated metal components essential to naval, land, and expeditionary systems. Her work directly supports the operational readiness of military platforms by securing high-performance industrial valves, sealing devices, power transmission equipment, and ordnance accessories. She handles complex contracting actions under FAR Part 13 and Part 15, often leveraging competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements to ensure timely delivery of mission-critical parts across global theaters. Jackson maintains strong, recurring relationships with established suppliers including TRIMAN INDUSTRIES INC, ECI DEFENSE GROUP, ITL LLC, KAMPI COMPONENTS CO INC, and ASRC FEDERAL FACILITIES LOGISTICS, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven technical capabilities in precision manufacturing and defense-compliant quality systems. Her contracting patterns emphasize reliability, supply chain resilience, and long-term vendor performance, often resulting in multiple-award indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts and blanket purchase agreements. While the majority of her acquisitions—74.2%—are conducted without set-asides, she actively supports small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate commitment to expanding the defense industrial base. Her socioeconomic contracting approach prioritizes small businesses with demonstrated expertise in specialized manufacturing rather than broad socioeconomic categories. Her procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 332911 (Industrial Valve Manufacturing), followed by 336390 (Other Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturing) and 332994 (Small Arms and Ordnance Accessories). This reflects deep technical expertise in fluid control systems, mechanical interfaces, and ordnance components used in armored vehicles, naval vessels, and expeditionary logistics platforms.
