Jason Meade

Jason Meade serves as an Acquisition Specialist responsible for managing complex procurement actions within the federal acquisition framework, focusing on mechanical and motor vehicle component systems. He executes full lifecycle contracting activities—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and agency mission objectives. His portfolio centers on high-precision manufacturing requirements, particularly in power transmission and vehicle subsystems, where technical specificity and supply chain reliability are critical. Meade works closely with engineering and program offices to translate operational needs into enforceable contract requirements, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical hardware. While specific contractor names are not available, Meade’s procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with manufacturers capable of meeting stringent engineering specifications for mechanical power transmission equipment and automotive components. He cultivates relationships with both large-tier suppliers and qualified small businesses, emphasizing technical capability, quality assurance, and delivery performance. His contracting approach prioritizes competitive solicitation methods, including sealed bidding and negotiated procurements, with a strong emphasis on performance-based outcomes and risk mitigation in technical acquisitions. Meade demonstrates a clear preference for open competition, with 83.3% of his acquisitions conducted without set-aside restrictions. However, he actively supports small business participation, allocating 16.7% of his contracting volume to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced commitment to maximizing competition while ensuring opportunities for qualified small manufacturers to contribute to federal supply chains, though no specific socioeconomic categories like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB are predominant in his portfolio. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 333613 (Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment Manufacturing), followed by 336390 (Other Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturing) and 336330 (Motor Vehicle Steering and Suspension Components). He specializes in procuring gears, shafts, clutches, steering linkages, and suspension assemblies used in defense, transportation, and industrial applications, requiring deep familiarity with material specifications, tolerances, and testing standards. Meade’s expertise lies at the intersection of mechanical engineering requirements and federal acquisition compliance.
