Jason Jerome

Jason Jerome serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-orlando office of the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of advanced engineering, technical services, and defense systems critical to modernizing military training infrastructure. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on live-fire and simulation training systems, mission command technologies, and aviation and artillery support platforms. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to enhance operational readiness through cutting-edge research, systems integration, and rapid prototyping of next-generation defense capabilities. Jerome routinely handles complex, performance-based solicitations under FAR Part 15, emphasizing technical merit, innovation, and lifecycle sustainment. He maintains consistent partnerships with leading defense contractors including TORCH RESEARCH, LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY INTERNATIONAL, and FIDELITY TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION, engaging them primarily for systems engineering, R&D, and specialized manufacturing services. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established prime contractors with proven expertise in defense simulation, avionics, and mission-critical instrumentation, often leveraging Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) vehicles and Other Transaction Authority (OTA) mechanisms to accelerate innovation delivery. Jerome’s procurement activity is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 95.2% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting a mission-driven focus on technical capability over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation remains limited at 4.8%, it is strategically directed toward Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, prioritizing firms with niche technical qualifications in defense systems. His primary NAICS focus spans engineering services (541330) and professional technical services (541990), with significant procurement in aircraft manufacturing (336411), aeronautical systems (334511), and specialized manufacturing (339999). He consistently acquires high-fidelity training simulators, digital mission command hardware, and integrated avionics systems, demonstrating deep expertise in defense technology domains requiring rigorous certification and interoperability standards.
