Jacqueline Kittrell

Jackie Q. Kittrell serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition through contract award and administration. She ensures compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports mission-critical procurement activities within her organization, focusing on complex technical and industrial goods. Her work involves coordinating with technical stakeholders, evaluating proposals, and negotiating terms to achieve optimal value and risk mitigation. She typically handles competitive solicitations for high-precision manufacturing and laboratory equipment, emphasizing transparency, fairness, and regulatory adherence. While specific contractor names are not available, Kittrell maintains a broad network of vendors across advanced manufacturing and electronics sectors. Her contracting patterns reflect engagement with both large-capability firms and small businesses capable of delivering specialized components and instrumentation. She fosters collaborative relationships with suppliers who demonstrate technical proficiency, past performance, and compliance with quality control standards, ensuring reliable delivery of mission-supporting goods. Kittrell’s procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 91.1% of her awards issued under non-set-aside conditions. However, she consistently supports small business participation, allocating 8.9% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate effort to foster market diversity and enable small manufacturers to compete for federal opportunities, aligning with broader socioeconomic goals without relying on specialized set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes related to electronic and analytical manufacturing, including Electronic Computer Manufacturing (334111), Other Electronic Component Manufacturing (334419), and Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing (334516), each representing 8.7% of her activity. She also procures specialized office furniture (337214) and miscellaneous manufactured goods (339999), indicating expertise in sourcing technically intricate, precision-engineered equipment for scientific, industrial, and administrative applications.
