Jerry G Maggard

Jerry G. Maggard serves as a key procurement professional responsible for managing complex acquisitions in advanced aerospace and engineering systems. His role centers on executing full lifecycle contracting actions for high-technology systems, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical performance standards. He specializes in securing specialized equipment and technical services essential to national defense and aviation infrastructure, frequently overseeing solicitations that require rigorous technical evaluation and source selection under FAR Part 15. His acquisitions support the development and integration of precision navigation, aeronautical instrumentation, and mission-critical avionics systems. Maggard cultivates strategic relationships with a diverse pool of prime contractors, primarily those with deep expertise in aerospace manufacturing and systems engineering. He regularly engages with firms capable of delivering custom-designed avionics, flight control systems, and integrated sensor suites, often requiring ISO 9001 and AS9100 certifications. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and technical innovation, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors that demonstrate proven capability in low-volume, high-complexity production environments. Vendor collaboration is typically structured through competitive sealed bids and negotiated contracts with clear statement of work definitions. His procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of awards issued without set-aside designations. While he does not routinely prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his focus remains on technical merit and mission readiness, ensuring that acquisitions meet stringent performance thresholds regardless of vendor size or socioeconomic status. This approach underscores a commitment to capability-driven sourcing over socioeconomic targeting. Maggard’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334511 for aeronautical and navigation systems and NAICS 541330 for engineering services, reflecting deep expertise in avionics integration, flight systems design, and technical consulting. He frequently procures precision guidance equipment, aircraft auxiliary systems, and custom software for mission-critical applications, demonstrating specialized knowledge in systems engineering, electronic warfare support, and aerospace certification standards.
