Jesica L. Hunt

Jesica L. Hunt serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation and market research to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while advancing mission-critical procurement objectives. Her portfolio primarily encompasses complex technical services and specialized equipment procurement, with a focus on aerospace, communications, and information technology domains. Hunt works closely with program managers and technical evaluators to align contracting strategies with operational needs, ensuring timely and lawful delivery of goods and services. While specific contractor names are not available, Hunt maintains a broad network of vendors across multiple industry sectors, fostering competitive bidding environments and encouraging both large primes and small business subcontractors to participate in solicitation responses. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for open competition, with the majority of awards issued under full and open competition. She engages with vendors through structured solicitations, including RFPs and RFQs, and emphasizes performance-based contracting principles to ensure accountability and quality outcomes. Hunt demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly 30% of her awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Her procurement approach consistently prioritizes small business eligibility, leveraging set-aside authorities to promote economic opportunity and market diversity. Although no other socioeconomic categories are dominant in her portfolio, her consistent use of small business set-asides reflects a deliberate strategy to expand vendor participation and enhance competition. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334511 for avionics and navigation systems, 334310 for audio/video equipment, and 541511 for custom computer programming services. She also regularly procures teleproduction and temporary staffing solutions under NAICS 512191 and 561320, respectively. This technical breadth indicates expertise in both hardware procurement and IT services, positioning her as a key liaison between operational units and specialized technology vendors.
