Jenna M. Frey

Jenna M. Frey serves as a Contract Specialist within the Telecommunications Division (HC1013) of the Defense Information Systems Agency, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurements to secure and modernize the Department of Defense’s global communications infrastructure. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for network modernization, secure virtual private network deployments, and interoperable telecom services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and operational resilience standards. Her work directly supports DISA’s mandate to sustain high-capacity, encrypted, and survivable communications for military and federal stakeholders across dynamic operational environments. Frey maintains consistent procurement relationships with leading telecommunications and IT infrastructure providers, including AT&T Technical Services Company, Inc., Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Liberty Communications, Inc., AOC Connect LLC, and Norfolk Fiber, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in secure fiber optic deployment, managed network services, and enterprise-grade telecom integration. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical interoperability, and lifecycle support, fostering long-term vendor collaboration aligned with DISA’s strategic modernization goals. While the majority of her acquisitions are competed without set-asides (83.8%), Frey demonstrates a deliberate commitment to small business participation, regularly allocating contracts under Total Small Business Set-Asides (10.8%) and targeted programs such as HUBZone and SBA-certified Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB) set-asides (2.7% each). Her socioeconomic contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach—prioritizing competition while actively advancing opportunities for certified small businesses in mission-essential domains. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), encompassing cybersecurity-enabled telecom support, network optimization, and systems integration services, with a secondary emphasis on NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers). Frey’s expertise centers on procuring advanced telecommunications solutions that enhance network agility, data integrity, and cross-domain interoperability across DoD platforms.
