Dyan E. Jackson

Dyan E. Jackson serves as the primary contracting lead for the 0410 AQ HQ Contract Office within the Department of the Army, responsible for managing mission-enabling acquisitions that sustain operational readiness across Army installations and deployed forces. Her portfolio centers on securing critical hospitality, administrative, and logistical support services essential to personnel welfare and mission continuity. She routinely handles task and delivery order contracts under indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles, with a focus on service-based procurements that ensure seamless facility operations, transportation support, and administrative infrastructure. Jackson’s work directly supports the Army’s strategic imperative to maintain resilient, responsive force support systems in both garrison and expeditionary environments. Jackson cultivates partnerships with a diverse range of vendors, including small businesses and general service contractors specializing in facility operations, hospitality, and management consulting. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, her contracting patterns reflect a balanced engagement with both large-capacity service providers and certified small businesses, fostering competitive, performance-driven relationships grounded in FAR compliance and value-based outcomes. She emphasizes long-term vendor reliability and service quality over transactional procurement, aligning contractor performance with installation-level readiness metrics. Her procurement strategy demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic programs, with over 42% of her awards directed toward small business set-asides, including 23.7% to Total Small Business Set-Asides and 13.2% to 8(a) competed contracts. She actively leverages FAR 19.5 and 26.2 authorities to promote local economic development and disadvantaged business participation, consistently integrating socioeconomic goals into acquisition planning and source selection criteria. Jackson’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 337214 (office furniture manufacturing), NAICS 721110 (hotels and motels), and NAICS 541611 (management consulting), reflecting her specialization in facility support, lodging services, and administrative systems. She routinely procures turnkey hospitality solutions, ergonomic furniture systems, and operational management services tailored to military garrison environments, demonstrating deep expertise in non-combat, mission-sustaining acquisitions.
