Jacqueline S Byrd

Jacqueline S. Byrd serves as a Contract Specialist at the Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk (NAVSUP FLC Norfolk), where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain U.S. Navy operational readiness. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—Byrd supports the agency’s core mission of ensuring fleet sustainment through specialized engineering, logistics, and maintenance services. Her portfolio encompasses complex, technically demanding contracts requiring compliance with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) and Navy-specific procurement policies, with a focus on industrial and technical services essential to maritime platform readiness. Byrd maintains established relationships with a diverse set of prime contractors, including OBSIDIAN GLOBAL, LLC, Deloitte & Touche LLP, and Computational Physics Inc., reflecting her engagement with both large-capability firms and niche technical providers. Her contracting patterns indicate a preference for partners with proven expertise in defense logistics, advanced maintenance systems, and mission-critical support services. She consistently fosters collaborative vendor partnerships grounded in performance-based contracting and outcome-driven requirements, ensuring alignment with Navy operational needs and accountability standards. Her procurement approach prioritizes open competition, with 71.4% of her awards issued under no set-aside, while maintaining a meaningful 28.6% commitment to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This balance demonstrates her strategic use of socioeconomic authorities to promote broad-based industry participation without compromising mission requirements. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her consistent small business awards reflect a deliberate effort to expand the supplier base among qualified small entities. Byrd’s primary NAICS focus areas include commercial and industrial machinery repair (811310), surgical and medical instrument manufacturing (339112), emergency relief services (624230), sporting goods wholesale (423910), and other building equipment contracting (238290). These reflect a multidisciplinary procurement portfolio spanning technical maintenance, specialized equipment, and contingency support services critical to fleet infrastructure and personnel readiness.
