Jennifer L. Roe

Jennifer L. Roe serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing complex acquisitions in advanced manufacturing and instrumentation sectors. She plays a critical role in executing the agency’s acquisition strategy by overseeing the solicitation, evaluation, and award of contracts for specialized technical equipment and systems. Her work centers on ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurement outcomes with operational mission needs, particularly in aerospace and electronic measurement domains. Roe routinely handles competitive procurements under FAR Part 15, with a focus on performance-based contracting and technical evaluation panels to ensure vendor solutions meet stringent engineering and reliability standards. Her contractor relationships span a diverse base of manufacturers and system integrators, primarily in the aerospace components and precision instrumentation industries. While no single vendor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with mid-tier suppliers possessing specialized manufacturing capabilities and certified quality systems such as AS9100 and ISO 13485. Her approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical competence, past performance, and supply chain resilience, fostering collaboration through pre-solicitation industry days and clear statement of work development. Roe demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 81% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides. Nevertheless, she actively supports socioeconomic programs, dedicating nearly 19% of her portfolio to small business opportunities, including Total Small Business Set-Asides, 8(a) competed awards, and HUBZone contracts. Her pattern reflects a balanced commitment to fostering small business participation while maintaining rigorous technical standards and fair competition. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 for aircraft subsystems and 334515 for electrical measurement instrumentation, with additional activity in related precision device manufacturing. She specializes in acquiring flight-critical components, sensor systems, and calibration equipment used in defense and aerospace applications, demonstrating deep familiarity with technical specifications, test protocols, and certification requirements for high-reliability systems.
