Eneshal Borders

Eneshal Borders-Jones serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements development and market research to contract award and administration. With a focus on technical and aerospace-related procurements, she ensures compliance with federal regulations under the FAR and supports the agency’s mission by securing high-integrity, mission-critical capabilities. Her work typically involves complex sole-source and competitive solicitations for specialized aircraft components and engineering services, requiring deep familiarity with technical specifications, source selection criteria, and contract type selection—including cost-reimbursement and fixed-price arrangements. While specific contractor names are not publicly identifiable, her procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with manufacturers of aircraft subsystems and niche engineering service providers. She fosters collaborative relationships with vendors possessing advanced manufacturing capabilities and technical certifications, ensuring alignment with stringent aerospace quality standards such as AS9100. Her approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and risk mitigation through clear statement of work development and robust contract surveillance protocols. Eneshal demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 93.3% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides, reflecting a mission-driven focus on technical capability over socioeconomic targeting. Nevertheless, she actively supports small business participation, consistently awarding 6.7% of her contracts under Total Small Business Set-Asides in accordance with FAR 19.5, ensuring qualified small businesses have equitable access to opportunities within her portfolio. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413, encompassing the acquisition of other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment, including avionics, landing gear components, and flight control systems. She also regularly procures engineering services under NAICS 541330, particularly for systems integration, technical analysis, and certification support. This dual specialization underscores her expertise in the aerospace manufacturing domain and her ability to navigate highly technical, regulated procurement environments.
