Jennifer L. Jackson

Jennifer L. Jackson serves as a Contracting Officer for the W7MX USPFO Activity CAANG 146 under the Department of the Army, where she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions critical to sustaining military installation infrastructure. Her portfolio focuses on facility services that ensure operational readiness, including hospitality, food service, and related support functions essential to daily base operations. She executes acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), leveraging competitive contracting methods to deliver mission-critical services while ensuring compliance with federal procurement standards and fiscal accountability. Jackson maintains strong, recurring relationships with key contractors including JS Hospitality Group LLC and Liberty Communications, Inc., both of which provide comprehensive hospitality and food service solutions across military installations. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships built on performance reliability, quality assurance, and adherence to service-level agreements. These relationships reflect a preference for established contractors with proven capabilities in delivering consistent, high-standard amenities to military personnel and their families. A defining feature of Jackson’s procurement strategy is her exclusive use of Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting an unwavering commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. She consistently directs all eligible acquisitions to small business concerns, fostering opportunities for disadvantaged, service-disabled veteran-owned, and HUBZone-certified firms within the hospitality and food service sectors. This pattern underscores her dedication to expanding small business participation in defense support missions. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 721110 (Hotels and Motels) and NAICS 722310 (Food Service Contractors), where she specializes in acquiring lodging, meal services, dining operations, and related support systems for military housing and transient personnel. Jackson’s expertise centers on managing complex service contracts requiring strict compliance with DoD quality standards, sanitation protocols, and readiness requirements, ensuring that installed infrastructure remains fully functional and mission-ready.
