Jasmine Powell

Jasmine Powell serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition and market research to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and advancing agency mission objectives through strategic sourcing. Her portfolio encompasses a diverse range of technical and service-based procurements, including information technology systems, communications equipment, flight training services, and industrial construction projects. Powell’s approach emphasizes transparency, competitive bidding, and adherence to statutory procurement frameworks, ensuring that acquisitions are both efficient and legally sound. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable, Powell engages with a broad spectrum of vendors across multiple sectors, fostering competitive environments that encourage both large primes and small business subcontractors to participate. Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach to vendor engagement, prioritizing capability, past performance, and compliance over sole-source or non-competitive mechanisms. She routinely collaborates with contractors who demonstrate technical proficiency and adherence to federal contracting standards, maintaining a professional, arms-length relationship grounded in regulatory integrity. Powell demonstrates a clear preference for open competition, with 75% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides. However, she consistently supports socioeconomic programs, allocating 12.5% of her portfolio each to Total Small Business Set-Asides and HUBZone contracts. This pattern reflects a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small businesses while maintaining robust competition. Her use of HUBZone set-asides indicates a strategic interest in promoting economic development in designated distressed areas. Her primary procurement focus lies in five NAICS categories, each representing 14.3% of her activity: Computer Systems Design Services, Flight Training, Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing, Industrial Building Construction, and Telephone Apparatus Manufacturing. This diversified technical portfolio underscores her expertise in both IT infrastructure and physical infrastructure procurements, with deep familiarity in telecommunications, training systems, and specialized manufacturing. She is well-versed in evaluating technical proposals and ensuring compliance with performance-based acquisition standards across these domains.
