Jason N. Holden

Jason N. Holden supports the Department of the Army’s W6QK Acc-orlando in advancing military training systems and defense technology integration through strategic procurement of engineering, software, and technical services. He manages acquisitions aligned with the agency’s mission to modernize live-fire and simulation infrastructure, enhance mission command capabilities, and support aviation and artillery training systems. His portfolio centers on professional, scientific, and technical services critical to operational readiness, with a focus on systems engineering, training simulation development, and mission-critical software solutions. Holden plays a pivotal role in ensuring contract vehicles align with DoD innovation priorities and acquisition regulatory frameworks. He maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including TORCH RESEARCH, LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY INTERNATIONAL, and FIDELITY TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION, all of which provide specialized engineering, systems integration, and training technology services. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in defense simulation, command and control systems, and advanced training analytics. Holden’s procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and technical evaluation criteria that prioritize innovation, interoperability, and rapid fielding of capabilities. His contracting patterns show a strong orientation toward open competition, with 63.6% of awards issued without set-asides, while 36.4% are structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This balance demonstrates a deliberate effort to leverage both large defense contractors and agile small businesses, fostering a competitive ecosystem that supports technological diversity and supply chain resilience without relying on specific socioeconomic programs like 8(a) or HUBZone. Holden’s primary NAICS focus areas include 541330 (Engineering Services), 513210 (Software Publishers), 611420 (Computer Training), and 541990 (Other Professional Services), reflecting deep expertise in procuring simulation systems, training software, and technical support services. His acquisitions consistently target next-generation training technologies, including virtual and augmented reality platforms, AI-driven analytics for tactical decision-making, and integrated live-virtual-constructive (LVC) training environments.
