Jasper Simmons

Jasper Simmons serves as a procurement professional within the FA8823 Sustainment MCPNT SSC/PKL, a critical unit under the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining and modernizing aerospace and space-based defense systems. In this role, Simmons manages the acquisition lifecycle for mission-critical infrastructure, including guided missile sustainment, satellite communications, and global positioning system components. Their work directly supports operational readiness by ensuring timely delivery of technical solutions that maintain the integrity of national security assets. Simmons typically handles complex, technical contracts spanning engineering services, specialized manufacturing, and communications equipment, often requiring compliance with stringent DoD standards and lifecycle sustainment protocols. While specific contractor names are not available, Simmons maintains a balanced procurement approach that engages both large-tier defense contractors and qualified small businesses. Their working relationships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in aerospace-grade manufacturing, electromagnetic compatibility, and mission-critical system integration. Partnerships are characterized by long-term sustainment contracts and performance-based acquisition strategies, emphasizing reliability, traceability, and technical compliance under FAR and DFARS frameworks. Simmons demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately half of all procurements designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster innovation and capacity within the small business industrial base, particularly among firms certified under 8(a), HUBZone, or WOSB programs. The equal distribution between set-aside and open competitions indicates a deliberate effort to maintain competitive diversity while ensuring access to specialized capabilities. The primary NAICS focus areas include industrial material handling equipment, metal coating and engraving services, iron and steel manufacturing, wireless communications equipment, and engineering services. These reflect a technical domain centered on hardware sustainment, signal integrity, and ruggedized system components essential to space and missile platforms. Simmons’ expertise lies in procuring mission-enabling technologies that support the enduring operational needs of Air Force space and missile systems.
