Jackie Selcer serves as a Contracting Specialist within the Headquarters, Air Force Materiel Command (FA5066), where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex procurements critical to maintaining air superiority and mission readiness. She manages the acquisition of advanced aerospace instrumentation, electronic warfare systems, laboratory-grade test equipment, and mission-critical communications infrastructure supporting aircraft modernization and weapons system integrity. Her work directly enables the Department of the Air Force’s strategic priorities in sensor modernization, test and evaluation infrastructure, and analytical capability enhancement, ensuring timely delivery of high-performance systems to operational units. Selcer collaborates with a diverse range of defense contractors specializing in precision instrumentation, RF and signal processing technologies, and mission-specific avionics integration. While no single vendor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with Tier 1 defense primes, mid-tier engineering firms, and niche technology innovators capable of meeting stringent military specifications. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical rigor, and compliance with DoD acquisition regulations, fostering long-term partnerships built on reliability and innovation. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic categorization. This approach underscores her commitment to securing the most capable solutions for mission-critical systems, prioritizing performance, interoperability, and lifecycle support over socioeconomic targeting. Selcer’s expertise centers on NAICS categories related to aerospace product and parts manufacturing, electronic instrumentation, and scientific research and development services. She routinely procures high-precision test and measurement devices, embedded systems, data acquisition platforms, and secure communications hardware used in flight testing, radar calibration, and electronic combat simulation. Her technical domain knowledge spans avionics, sensor fusion, and systems integration, making her a key steward of the Air Force’s next-generation test and evaluation ecosystem.
