Jeffrey F. Jackson

Jeffrey F. Jackson serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing federal acquisitions related to food manufacturing and processing. In this role, he ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while executing contracts that support the government’s nutritional and logistical needs. His portfolio centers on the procurement of staple food commodities and processed agricultural products, requiring deep familiarity with quality control standards, supply chain logistics, and USDA-aligned specifications. Jackson oversees the full acquisition lifecycle—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring transparency, fairness, and efficiency in all transactions. His contractor relationships are primarily with manufacturers and processors specializing in bulk food production, including firms engaged in cereal, flour, dairy, rice, and pasta manufacturing. While no single vendor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages with established industrial suppliers capable of meeting federal food safety and packaging requirements. His working relationships reflect a preference for proven, scalable producers with demonstrated capacity to deliver consistent, high-volume output under strict regulatory oversight. Jackson’s contracting patterns show a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his awards designated as “No Set-Aside.” This reflects a strategic focus on maximizing competition among qualified industrial manufacturers rather than reserving contracts for socioeconomic categories. While he does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his approach ensures that all eligible vendors—regardless of size or certification—are evaluated on technical capability and compliance. His primary NAICS focus includes breakfast cereal manufacturing, flour milling, dry dairy product production, rice milling, and dry pasta manufacturing. These categories reflect specialized expertise in procuring shelf-stable, bulk food commodities for institutional use. Jackson’s technical domain knowledge encompasses food safety protocols, nutritional labeling standards, and industrial production capabilities, making him a key liaison between federal requirements and commercial food manufacturing capacity.
