Constance E. Jackson

Constance E. Jackson serves as Chief, Emerging Technologies–Agreements Officer for the Telecommunications Division (HC1013) within the Defense Information Systems Agency, where she leads the acquisition and management of advanced telecommunications solutions critical to the Department of Defense’s global communications infrastructure. In this role, she oversees the procurement of next-generation network services, secure virtual private networks, and interoperable communications systems designed to modernize legacy telecom architectures. Her responsibilities include structuring complex agreements that ensure resilience, scalability, and cybersecurity compliance across military and federal operations, with a strategic focus on emerging technologies that enhance mission-critical connectivity. Jackson maintains consistent partnerships with leading providers of telecommunications and systems integration services, including AT&T Technical Services Company, Inc., Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Liberty Communications, Inc., AOC Connect LLC, and Norfolk Fiber, LLC. These relationships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in fiber-optic infrastructure, secure cloud-enabled networks, and mission-specific telecom engineering. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, long-term service-level agreements, and technical innovation aligned with DoD standards. Notably, Jackson’s portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic prioritization of technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic classifications, though she remains committed to fair and transparent procurement practices. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 517919 (Other Telecommunications), accounting for half of her portfolio, alongside equal shares in 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services). She specializes in procuring secure network architecture, managed telecom services, and custom systems integration solutions that support DoD’s digital transformation initiatives.
