Jennifer Wilterdink

Jennifer Wilterdink serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Air Force’s FA9401 377 Msg Pk, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisitions for mission-critical aerospace and defense systems. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle management of contracts for advanced instrumentation, secure communications infrastructure, electronic warfare support, and laboratory-grade analytical equipment. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurement actions with the agency’s strategic goals of modernizing air force operational capabilities. Wilterdink specializes in technical procurements requiring deep domain expertise in sensor systems, data acquisition platforms, and mission-critical support services, often navigating high-stakes, time-sensitive acquisition timelines. She maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including J STAR ENTERPRISES INC, LARON, LLC, FIVEBYFIVE, LLC, VISION DISTRIBUTORS LLC, and Boh Environmental, L.L.C., each of which provides specialized engineering, technical services, or equipment solutions aligned with Air Force operational needs. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and clear statement of work development, fostering collaborative partnerships with vendors who demonstrate technical proficiency and reliability in delivering niche defense-grade solutions. Wilterdink’s set-aside preferences reflect a balanced commitment to socioeconomic programs, with approximately 33.3% of her awards directed toward small business participation—primarily through Total Small Business Set-Asides and 8(a) competed contracts. While the majority of her acquisitions are unrestricted, she actively seeks opportunities to integrate qualified small and disadvantaged businesses into the supply chain, demonstrating a deliberate effort to broaden vendor diversity without compromising mission readiness. Her primary industry focus centers on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and 334111 (Electronic Computer Manufacturing), with significant activity in computer peripheral equipment manufacturing and professional technical services. She routinely procures custom-built electronic systems, data acquisition hardware, secure communication devices, and specialized environmental monitoring equipment, underscoring her technical fluency in defense electronics and instrumentation procurement.
