Jennifer L. Lee

Jennifer Lee serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex acquisitions across aerospace, maintenance, and engineering services. She plays a critical role in executing the agency’s procurement mission by ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations, fostering competitive bidding, and delivering mission-critical capabilities through timely and lawful contract actions. Her portfolio primarily encompasses solicitations under FAR Part 15, including negotiated procurements for technical services and specialized equipment, with a strong emphasis on air transportation support and aircraft component manufacturing. She routinely oversees the full acquisition lifecycle—from market research and solicitation development to award and contract administration—ensuring alignment with operational requirements and regulatory standards. While specific contractor names are not available, Jennifer Lee maintains relationships with a diverse pool of vendors, including both large prime contractors and small businesses capable of delivering precision-engineered aircraft parts, industrial machinery repair, and engineering design services. Her procurement approach emphasizes competitive fairness and performance-based outcomes, encouraging vendor innovation while upholding stringent quality and compliance controls. She engages with contractors through structured source selection processes and post-award performance evaluations to ensure accountability and mission readiness. Jennifer demonstrates a clear preference for open competition, with 83.3% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides, reflecting a focus on broad market access. However, she actively supports small business participation, dedicating 16.7% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, consistent with federal goals for economic inclusion. Her approach prioritizes capability over socioeconomic designation, yet she ensures small businesses have equitable opportunities to compete for suitable requirements. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair and Maintenance), each accounting for one-third of her activity, underscoring her technical expertise in aerospace components and industrial systems. She also frequently procures engineering services under NAICS 541330 and air transportation support under 488190, indicating deep familiarity with aviation logistics and systems integration. Her domain knowledge spans mechanical systems, avionics support, and maintenance protocols critical to national aerospace operations.
