Jennifer Jackson-Garcia

Jennifer Jackson-Garcia serves as a key procurement professional within the W7MX Uspfo Activity CA ARNG, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to sustain operational readiness across Army National Guard installations. She manages the acquisition of critical infrastructure and logistical services, with a focus on construction, maintenance, and facility systems essential to training and support operations. Her portfolio centers on ensuring functional reliability of remote and regional ARNG facilities through timely and compliant contracting actions, prioritizing projects that enhance energy efficiency, environmental compliance, and mission-critical infrastructure resilience. Her contractor relationships are primarily with small businesses and specialized trades firms serving the built environment, particularly those certified under socioeconomic programs. She consistently partners with plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors, as well as commercial and institutional builders, fostering long-term vendor collaborations grounded in performance-based service delivery. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, her engagement patterns reflect a preference for firms with proven experience in military facility maintenance and rapid-response construction under austere conditions. Jackson-Garcia demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 83.3% of her acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5 and 16.7% competitively awarded through the 8(a) program. Her contracting strategy actively promotes equitable access for disadvantaged businesses, aligning with Department of the Army socioeconomic goals and ensuring robust competition among certified small and veteran-owned firms. Her technical expertise lies in NAICS 238220 (plumbing, heating, and HVAC systems), 236220 (commercial and institutional construction), and 237310 (highway and bridge construction). She procures turnkey facility upgrades, mechanical system replacements, structural repairs, and site infrastructure improvements, requiring deep familiarity with military construction standards, NFPA codes, and DoD sustainability mandates. Her work ensures that ARNG facilities remain mission-ready through resilient, code-compliant, and sustainably maintained infrastructure.
