Jennifer Arseneault

Jennifer Arseneault serves as a key contracting professional within the U.S. Army Contracting Command – Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA), supporting the acquisition of critical ground combat systems and enabling technologies essential to modernizing Army tactical forces. She manages complex procurement actions focused on sustaining and enhancing soldier lethality, survivability, and battlefield mobility through the acquisition of armored vehicle components, integrated ordnance systems, and advanced small arms technologies. Her role is central to executing rapid prototyping initiatives and fielding next-generation military capabilities aligned with the Army’s modernization priorities, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical equipment through full and open competition. Arseneault maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of defense-industrial partners, including BAE Systems Land & Armaments L.P., Murtech, Inc., Bay Ship & Yacht Co., Japan Marine United Corporation, and Professional Contract Services, Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for established defense contractors with proven expertise in military-grade engineering, shipbuilding support, and specialized logistics services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and supply chain resilience, fostering long-term vendor collaboration to meet urgent operational requirements. Her procurement activity is exclusively conducted under full and open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This reflects a strategic alignment with the agency’s mission to prioritize technical capability and operational readiness over socioeconomic preferences, ensuring the most qualified vendors are selected based on merit and system performance. Her primary acquisition focus lies within NAICS 541930 (Translation and Interpretation Services), indicating a specialized need for linguistic and cultural support services critical to international interoperability, foreign military sales, and technical documentation for globally deployed systems. This unusual but mission-critical specialization underscores her role in enabling seamless communication and compliance across multinational defense partnerships and complex weapon system integrations.
