Jacquelyn L. Armes

Jacquelyn L. Armes serves as a Contracting Officer for the Commanding Officer (N63394) under the Department of the Navy, where she leads the acquisition of mission-critical aerospace components, electronic warfare systems, and engineering services essential to sustaining naval aviation readiness. Her portfolio centers on procuring advanced sensor technologies, secure communications infrastructure, and integrated avionics upgrades to support the modernization of fleet-wide aircraft platforms. Armes ensures compliance with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) requirements while aligning procurements with the Navy’s strategic priorities in electronic warfare and cybersecurity-enabled systems. Her primary contractor relationships are with industry leaders such as Lockheed Martin Corporation and Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, with whom she collaborates on complex, high-stakes contracts for integrated avionics, radar systems, and mission-critical electronics. These partnerships reflect a preference for established defense prime contractors capable of delivering technically sophisticated, low-volume, high-reliability systems under strict military specifications. Armes maintains a disciplined contracting approach, emphasizing performance-based outcomes, technical risk mitigation, and rigorous source selection under FAR Part 15. While the majority of her acquisitions—90.9%—are conducted without set-asides, she maintains a consistent 9.1% commitment to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating targeted support for small businesses with proven capabilities in aerospace and technical services. Her socioeconomic contracting patterns prioritize technical proficiency over socioeconomics, ensuring that small business awards go to firms with demonstrated expertise in niche defense domains. Her procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 722310 (Food Service Contractors), which reflects ancillary support contracts for base operations, alongside significant activity in 541990 (Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services) and 511210 (Software Publishers), indicating procurement of specialized software tools and technical consulting services. She also regularly acquires engineering services under NAICS 541330 and management consulting under 541611, underscoring her role in integrating technical oversight and program management support into complex acquisition programs.
