Jacqueline Cooke

Jacqueline Cooke serves as the WB Regional Administrator, overseeing federal procurement activities within her regional jurisdiction. In this capacity, she ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing mission-critical contracting objectives. Her portfolio primarily encompasses service-based acquisitions tied to educational infrastructure and building systems, with a strong emphasis on strategic sourcing and equitable vendor engagement. She plays a pivotal role in aligning regional procurement practices with national policy goals, ensuring transparency, efficiency, and accountability across the acquisition lifecycle. While specific contractor names are not currently available, Jacqueline Cooke cultivates partnerships with a diverse range of vendors, including small businesses and specialty contractors experienced in educational support and mechanical systems installation. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, performance-based outcomes, and competitive bidding processes that promote innovation and reliability. She engages with both large-capability firms and niche providers capable of delivering tailored solutions in her focus domains. A strong advocate for socioeconomic inclusion, Jacqueline Cooke consistently structures procurements to maximize small business participation, with half of her acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to empower small businesses, particularly those owned by women, minorities, and other underserved entrepreneurs. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a balanced commitment to both open competition and targeted opportunities, ensuring broad access while maintaining high standards of performance and compliance. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 611710 (Educational Support Services), which includes tutoring, curriculum development, and administrative services for public and nonprofit educational institutions, and NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), where she oversees infrastructure modernization and facility upgrades. This dual specialization underscores her expertise in both human capital services and physical infrastructure procurement, making her a key liaison between educational missions and facility operational needs.
