Jackie E. Hassen

Jackie E. Hassen serves as a Purchasing Agent responsible for executing acquisition activities in support of federal procurement objectives. In this role, she ensures compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while managing the full lifecycle of procurements—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration. Her work directly supports mission-critical operations by securing goods and services that meet agency needs with efficiency, transparency, and fiscal responsibility. She typically handles simplified acquisitions, blanket purchase agreements, and other low-to-moderate complexity procurements, often leveraging government-wide acquisition contracts and multiple-award schedules. While specific contractor names are not available, Jackie maintains relationships with a diverse pool of vendors, including both large prime contractors and small businesses, fostering competitive bidding environments that promote fair access and innovation. Her procurement patterns reflect a balanced approach, engaging established vendors for standardized supplies while actively encouraging new entrants to participate in federal contracting. She prioritizes clear communication, timely responses to inquiries, and adherence to ethical standards throughout vendor interactions. Jackie demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 40% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate focus on empowering small businesses. She consistently prioritizes small business participation without reliance on other set-aside programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, indicating a broad-based strategy to expand the small business supplier base. Her approach supports national goals to increase economic opportunity and enhance competition across the federal marketplace. Though NAICS codes are not currently available, her procurement activity suggests a focus on general supplies, administrative services, and operational support categories. She is experienced in sourcing office equipment, professional services, and logistics-related items, demonstrating technical familiarity with standard federal procurement categories and best practices in vendor evaluation and contract management.
