Jennifer Pham

Jennifer Pham serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of complex procurement actions within the aerospace and defense sector. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while executing competitive solicitations, evaluating proposals, and administering contracts for critical aviation components. Her role is central to fulfilling the agency’s mission of acquiring high-integrity aircraft systems and supporting infrastructure, with a focus on technical rigor, risk mitigation, and timely delivery of mission-critical parts. Pham typically handles sole-source and sealed bid acquisitions for specialized aviation equipment, requiring deep subject matter expertise in engineering specifications and supply chain logistics. While no specific contractor relationships are identifiable due to data limitations, Pham’s procurement patterns suggest consistent engagement with Tier 1 and Tier 2 manufacturers specializing in aircraft subsystems. Her working relationships are characterized by collaboration with certified suppliers capable of meeting stringent FAA and DoD quality standards, often involving technical evaluations, performance-based contracting, and post-award oversight to ensure compliance with contractual deliverables and technical requirements. Pham’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 94.7% of awards issued under non-set-aside conditions. Only 5.3% of contracts are designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a targeted but limited use of socioeconomic programs. Her approach prioritizes technical capability and supply chain reliability over socioeconomic preferences, though she maintains compliance with all applicable small business participation requirements when applicable. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), accounting for 93.3% of her activity, with additional work in NAICS 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing). She specializes in acquiring flight control systems, avionics housings, fuel delivery components, and other mission-critical aerospace subsystems, demonstrating deep expertise in aerospace manufacturing standards, materials specifications, and defense supply chain dynamics.
