Jared Jackson

Jared Jackson serves as a Contract Specialist within the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Office of Justice Programs (Agency Code: 15F067), supporting critical acquisitions aligned with the FBI’s mission to modernize forensic science, digital intelligence, and secure communications infrastructure. He manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for technical equipment, operational support services, and specialized investigative tools, ensuring compliance with FAR and DOJ acquisition policies. His portfolio emphasizes mission-critical procurements that enhance evidence analysis, cyber-enabled investigations, and forensic laboratory capabilities, often requiring stringent security and technical validation protocols. Jackson maintains primary contracting relationships with Vista Outdoor Sales LLC and Southern Police Equipment Company, Inc., both of which provide specialized law enforcement and forensic support equipment. His vendor engagements reflect a preference for established suppliers with proven capabilities in ruggedized hardware, field-deployable systems, and compliance with federal technical standards. He collaborates closely with these contractors to ensure timely delivery of mission-essential goods while maintaining rigorous quality assurance and delivery performance metrics. His contracting patterns demonstrate a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of his awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and a notable 7.1% dedicated to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. While no set-aside accounts for half of his awards, his consistent use of small business mechanisms reflects a deliberate strategy to foster innovation and broaden vendor diversity within high-stakes federal procurements. Jackson’s primary NAICS focus centers on flight training (611512) and air transportation support services (488190), indicating a specialized procurement portfolio tied to aviation-based investigative operations, training simulators, and aerial surveillance support systems. Additional activity in industrial machinery and aircraft manufacturing (333924, 336411) underscores his technical expertise in procuring ruggedized, mission-adapted equipment for field and forensic use, aligning closely with the FBI’s operational modernization priorities.
