Jerry Edmond

Jerry Edmond serves as a secondary procurement contact at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, supporting the acquisition of advanced aerospace and scientific instrumentation systems critical to Earth observation and deep-space missions. While not the lead contracting officer, he plays a vital role in facilitating the planning, solicitation, and contract administration for high-precision navigation, guidance, and sensor systems. His work directly enables the center’s mission to develop next-generation spaceborne platforms and communication networks, ensuring technical requirements are accurately translated into competitive procurement actions aligned with NASA’s strategic objectives. Edmond maintains consistent working relationships with key technical partners including Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Lincoln Laboratory. These partnerships reflect a reliance on specialized aerospace contractors and premier research institutions capable of delivering complex, high-reliability systems for space environments. His engagement patterns suggest close collaboration with prime contractors who integrate cutting-edge avionics, telemetry, and space-qualified sensors, often requiring stringent compliance with NASA engineering standards and spaceflight heritage protocols. There is no set-aside preference in Edmond’s procurement activities; all acquisitions are conducted under full and open competition, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic categorization. This reflects the highly specialized nature of the systems being procured, where mission-critical performance and proven spaceflight heritage take precedence over small business set-asides. His procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 334511—Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing. He consistently sources advanced space-based sensors, attitude control systems, star trackers, inertial measurement units, and deep-space telemetry equipment, demonstrating deep domain expertise in aerospace instrumentation and mission-critical avionics for space science applications.
