Jennifer M. Knobeloch

Jennifer M. Knobeloch serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Transportation Command (USTransCom), supporting the agency’s global mobility mission through the acquisition of critical transportation and logistics services. She manages a portfolio of contracts focused on air cargo transportation, expeditionary port operations, and mission-critical support services that enable the rapid deployment and sustainment of U.S. military forces worldwide. Her work ensures the seamless integration of air, sea, and land mobility assets, aligning procurement decisions with operational tempo and strategic readiness requirements. Knobeloch typically handles complex, performance-based solicitations requiring high reliability, regulatory compliance, and global operational scalability. Knobeloch maintains consistent contracting relationships with leading aviation and logistics providers, including UNCOMN LLC, PHOENIX AIR GROUP, INC., RAMPART AVIATION, LLC, FANCIULLI EGISTO S.R.L., and MOUNTAIN AVIATION, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, specialized vendors capable of delivering scheduled freight air transportation, expeditionary airlift, and terminal support services under demanding operational conditions. Her contracting patterns emphasize long-term reliability, technical proficiency, and global reach, often resulting in repeat engagements with vendors who demonstrate proven performance in austere and high-threat environments. Knobeloch’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on maximizing capability, capacity, and global operational readiness over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, the nature of the acquisitions—requiring specialized aviation and logistics expertise—naturally favors established industry players with proven track records in defense mobility. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 481112 (Scheduled Freight Air Transportation), accounting for 71% of her activity, followed by NAICS 492110 (Couriers and Express Delivery Services) and NAICS 541611 (Management Consulting). She specializes in acquiring air cargo lift, expeditionary port support, and operational logistics planning services, demonstrating deep domain expertise in global mobility systems, theater distribution networks, and defense transportation infrastructure.
