Jackie Jones

Jackie Jones serves as a Program Manager responsible for overseeing the acquisition and lifecycle management of advanced aeronautical and navigation systems. In this role, she leads the planning, solicitation, and contract administration for technically complex procurements aligned with national defense and aviation technology priorities. Her work ensures that mission-critical systems—from sensor suites to guidance instrumentation—are delivered on schedule and in compliance with federal acquisition regulations. She collaborates closely with engineering and operational stakeholders to translate technical requirements into enforceable contract statements of work, ensuring alignment with both strategic objectives and regulatory standards. Jackie Jones maintains a vendor-agnostic procurement approach, engaging with a broad spectrum of industry partners without favoring any single contractor. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for competitive, open solicitations that encourage innovation and technical excellence across the aerospace and defense supply chain. She works with prime contractors specializing in avionics, radar systems, and flight control instrumentation, often coordinating with subcontractors to ensure robust supply chain resilience and technical interoperability. Her procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, reflecting a strategic focus on technical capability over socioeconomic categorization. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her evaluations are grounded in merit-based criteria, ensuring that all vendors compete on equal footing based on performance, past performance, and technical compliance. Jackie’s primary procurement focus is NAICS 334511—Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing. She routinely acquires precision-guided systems, inertial navigation units, radar detection arrays, and integrated avionics architectures. Her domain expertise lies in electro-optical sensors, digital signal processing systems, and mission-critical aerospace instrumentation, making her a key liaison between technical requirements and contract execution in high-stakes defense and aerospace programs.
