Jane Hartkemeyer

Jane Hartkemeyer serves as a key procurement professional within the FA8684 Aflcmc Rodk, a critical unit under the Department of the Air Force dedicated to aerospace sustainment and advanced manufacturing innovation. She manages complex acquisitions supporting mission-critical research, development, and engineering efforts aimed at ensuring air dominance through next-generation aircraft capabilities. Her portfolio centers on precision manufacturing, additive qualification, and resilient supply chain solutions, with a focus on enabling rapid operational readiness for defense systems. Hartkemeyer routinely handles sole-source, competitive, and technical evaluation-based contracts requiring stringent airworthiness and performance standards. Her contractor relationships span a diverse ecosystem of industrial manufacturers and R&D service providers, particularly those with expertise in metal finishing, specialized aluminum processing, and industrial machinery production. She collaborates closely with vendors capable of meeting Department of Defense technical specifications for aerospace-grade components and sustainment systems, fostering long-term partnerships with firms possessing AS9100 and ITAR compliance. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, her pattern reflects a preference for technically capable small and mid-tier suppliers with proven track records in high-integrity manufacturing environments. Hartkemeyer maintains a balanced approach to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately half of her acquisitions set aside for total small businesses under FAR 19.5, reflecting a strong institutional commitment to small business participation. She consistently prioritizes small business eligibility and capability assessments, ensuring equitable access for qualified firms without reliance on specialized set-asides like 8(a) or HUBZone, aligning with the agency’s broader strategy to broaden the industrial base. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 332812 (metal coating and engraving), 331318 (aluminum forming), 332439 (metal container manufacturing), 333924 (industrial material handling equipment), and 541715 (physical and engineering R&D). She specializes in sourcing advanced materials, precision-engineered components, and applied research services critical to sustaining and modernizing air force platforms through innovative manufacturing and sustainment technologies.
