Jennifer Lesco

Jennifer Lesco serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QK Acc-apg Natick office of the U.S. Army, supporting the Department of Defense’s mission to develop and field advanced soldier systems. She manages acquisitions for mission-critical technical services and specialized equipment, focusing on engineering solutions, analytical instrumentation, and support activities essential to battlefield readiness. Her work directly enables the development of flame-resistant combat apparel, life-sustaining medical devices, and field-deployable diagnostic tools, ensuring warfighters are equipped with cutting-edge, survivable systems. She operates within a framework of rigorous technical evaluation and compliance with federal acquisition regulations, prioritizing innovation and operational reliability in all procurements. Lesco maintains consistent contracting relationships with EPERNAY DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION LLC and TEVET LLC, both of which provide specialized engineering services and technical support for soldier systems. These partnerships reflect a preference for niche vendors with proven expertise in military-grade design, prototyping, and rapid prototyping cycles. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, leveraging contractor capabilities in systems integration, materials science, and field testing to meet evolving operational requirements. Her contracting patterns show a balanced approach to socioeconomic set-asides, with approximately one-third of awards directed toward Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small businesses without compromising mission needs. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, she actively encourages participation from small, innovative firms capable of delivering agile, high-performance solutions. Lesco’s portfolio is concentrated in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), and 488190 (Other Support Activities for Air Transportation), reflecting expertise in technical systems development, precision instrumentation, and logistics-enabled field support. Her acquisitions consistently target advanced materials, diagnostic sensors, and mission-critical test and evaluation services tailored to expeditionary environments.
