Jeffrey Jackson

Jeffrey Jackson serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the acquisition of food manufacturing and processing services on behalf of a federal agency. His role encompasses the full lifecycle of procurement—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—with a focus on ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and delivering mission-critical food products. He specializes in complex, high-volume procurements involving processed agricultural commodities, often requiring technical specifications for food safety, shelf stability, and nutritional compliance. His acquisitions support institutional feeding programs and emergency preparedness initiatives, requiring close coordination with logistics, quality assurance, and supply chain stakeholders. Jeffrey Jackson maintains a broad network of suppliers across the U.S. food manufacturing sector, engaging with both large-scale processors and small, specialized producers. While no single contractor dominates his award portfolio, he consistently works with firms possessing current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) certification, USDA inspection authority, and robust quality control systems. His contracting approach emphasizes competitive bidding, transparent evaluation criteria, and performance-based contract management to ensure consistent product quality and on-time delivery. His procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his awards issued under non-set-aside procedures. He does not currently utilize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, instead prioritizing technical capability, capacity, and compliance over socioeconomic criteria. This reflects a mission-driven focus on securing reliable, large-scale food production capabilities rather than socioeconomic targeting. Jeffrey Jackson’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes related to staple food manufacturing, including breakfast cereal (311230), rice milling (311212), roasted nuts and peanut butter (311911), flour milling (311211), and dry dairy product manufacturing (311514). He has deep expertise in sourcing bulk, shelf-stable food commodities with stringent safety and labeling requirements, demonstrating specialized knowledge in food science, packaging standards, and supply chain resilience for institutional use.
