Jacqueline W. Palmer

Jacqueline W. Palmer serves as a key procurement professional within DLA Land at Aberdeen, supporting the Defense Logistics Agency’s mission to sustain and modernize land-based military platforms through the acquisition of mission-critical electro-mechanical and electronic systems. She specializes in procuring advanced signal processing components, avionics, radio and data transmission equipment, and power and control systems essential for command, control, and tactical operations. Her work ensures operational readiness by delivering reliable, high-performance hardware and integrated subsystems to Army and joint force units, with a focus on end-to-end contract lifecycle management from requirements validation to award and performance oversight. Palmer maintains consistent working relationships with core contractors including AEROSPACE & COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC, CARSON INDUSTRIES, INC., and CREATING TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS, LLC. These partnerships are characterized by long-term, performance-based contract structures that emphasize technical compliance, supply chain resilience, and rapid response to fielded system sustainment needs. Her procurement approach favors established vendors with proven expertise in manufacturing ruggedized electronics and electro-mechanical assemblies for harsh operational environments. Palmer’s contracting portfolio reflects a strict preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued without set-asides under 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This reflects a mission-driven prioritization of technical capability and supply chain continuity over socioeconomic targeting, aligning with DLA’s mandate to ensure uninterrupted support for critical defense systems. Her primary procurement focus is under NAICS 326199 (All Other Plastics Product Manufacturing), indicating deep specialization in the acquisition of custom-engineered plastic components used in enclosures, connectors, heat shields, and structural housings for electronic systems. This specialization underscores her expertise in procuring non-metallic, high-strength, EMI-shielded, and environmentally sealed parts integral to the packaging and protection of sensitive military electronics.
