Jacquelin M. Jones

Jacquelin M. Jones serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of professional services acquisitions, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and aligning contracts with agency mission objectives. She specializes in complex, non-commercial service contracts requiring technical evaluation and risk mitigation, particularly in scientific and technical domains. Her role involves drafting solicitation documents, conducting market research, evaluating proposals, and administering awarded contracts to ensure performance accountability and fiscal integrity. Jones plays a critical part in translating technical requirements into enforceable contractual terms, supporting mission-critical research and analytical initiatives through strategic sourcing. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Jones engages with a diverse pool of professional service providers, including research institutions, independent consultants, and technical firms capable of delivering high-level scientific and analytical support. Her contracting patterns suggest a preference for firms with demonstrated expertise in experimental design, data analysis, and technical reporting, often requiring cleared personnel and specialized laboratory or field capabilities. She fosters collaborative vendor relationships grounded in performance-based outcomes and rigorous compliance oversight. Jones’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic preferences, indicating a mission-driven approach where specialized expertise takes precedence over socioeconomic targeting. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, she remains compliant with all applicable regulations and may still award to small businesses when they demonstrate superior technical qualifications. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541712 and 541715, encompassing physical, engineering, and life sciences research—particularly in areas such as materials science, environmental analysis, and applied physics. She also frequently procures services under 541990 for specialized technical consulting and 541720 for social science research, including policy analysis and behavioral studies. Her expertise centers on acquiring high-integrity scientific services requiring rigorous methodology, peer-reviewed validation, and compliance with federal research standards.
