Jackie L Richardson

Jackie L. Richardson serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions, from requirement development and market research to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and advancing the agency’s mission through timely, efficient, and legally sound contracting solutions. Her portfolio primarily centers on commercial procurement of petroleum and petroleum products, requiring deep familiarity with supply chain logistics, performance-based contracting, and FAR Part 12 commercial item procedures. She works closely with program offices to align acquisition strategies with operational needs, ensuring that procurements are both cost-effective and mission-critical. While specific contractor names are not available, Jackie maintains a consistent pattern of engaging with merchant wholesalers specializing in bulk petroleum distribution, including firms with established commercial distribution networks and robust inventory management systems. Her contracting approach emphasizes competitive sealed bidding and streamlined commercial practices, fostering transparent, open competition among qualified vendors. She prioritizes clear performance metrics and contract oversight to ensure delivery reliability and regulatory compliance across the supply chain. Jackie’s procurement activity reflects a 100% preference for non-set-aside acquisitions, indicating a focus on open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This pattern suggests that her acquisitions are driven by the nature of the commodity—petroleum products—which typically requires large-scale, commercially available suppliers with specialized logistics capabilities, rather than small business participation mandates. Her primary NAICS specialization is 424720, reflecting deep expertise in procuring petroleum and petroleum products through merchant wholesale channels. She is well-versed in the technical specifications, safety standards, and regulatory requirements governing fuel procurement, including DOT and EPA compliance. Her domain knowledge encompasses fuel types, storage protocols, transportation logistics, and contract delivery terms unique to bulk energy commodities, making her a key resource for mission-critical fuel supply operations.
