Jennifer D. Primus serves as a key procurement professional within the FA8520 Aflcmc Ebuk, a critical unit of the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining and modernizing air-launched weapon systems and mission-critical aerospace components. She manages acquisitions aligned with the lifecycle support of guided missiles, ordnance, avionics, and launcher systems, ensuring operational readiness through depot-level maintenance, technical upgrades, and precision munitions modernization. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to maintain air superiority by securing reliable, high-performance defense technologies, with a focus on engineering services, manufacturing, and systems integration contracts. Primus maintains a strong and consistent working relationship with RAYTHEON COMPANY, a principal contractor for advanced missile systems and guided munitions. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical expertise, performance reliability, and sustainment capabilities. She frequently engages with prime contractors capable of delivering complex aerospace systems, often coordinating integrated logistics and technical support services to ensure seamless fielding and maintenance of mission-critical hardware. Her contracting portfolio reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small businesses in the defense industrial base. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates active support for innovation and capacity building among qualified small vendors. Primus’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes related to guided missile and space vehicle manufacturing, engineering services, and administrative management consulting. She routinely sources specialized technical services for avionics integration, weapons system sustainment, and systems engineering support, reflecting deep domain expertise in aerospace defense technologies. Her work bridges operational requirements with industrial capabilities, ensuring that procurement decisions align with the technical rigor and reliability demanded by air-launched weapon systems.
