Jesse D. Nisley

Jesse D. Nisley serves as a Contract Specialist at the Naval Medical Logistics Command (N62645), where he plays a critical role in procuring and sustaining advanced medical systems essential to the readiness of U.S. Navy and Marine Corps medical forces. He manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for high-priority diagnostic, electromedical, and life-sustaining equipment, ensuring alignment with operational requirements across global deployment theaters. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to maintain a resilient medical logistics pipeline, with a focus on point-of-care technologies, biological product supply chains, and research-driven medical innovations. Nisley routinely handles complex, technical solicitations under FAR Part 15, coordinating with clinical stakeholders and logistics teams to translate operational needs into enforceable contract requirements. While specific contractor names are not disclosed in available records, Nisley’s procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with specialized manufacturers and R&D firms capable of delivering FDA-regulated medical devices, diagnostic instrumentation, and biologically derived supplies. He cultivates partnerships with vendors possessing robust quality management systems, including those certified under ISO 13485, and frequently collaborates with firms experienced in military specification compliance and rapid prototyping for field-deployable systems. Nisley’s contracting portfolio demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 83.3% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides, reflecting the technical complexity and limited vendor base for specialized medical equipment. However, he actively supports small business participation, with 16.7% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, aligning with DoD goals to expand access for qualified small innovators in the medical technology sector. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541715 (R&D in life sciences) and 541714 (biotechnology research), alongside 334510 (electromedical apparatus manufacturing) and 325414 (biological product manufacturing). He specializes in acquiring next-generation diagnostic tools, therapeutic devices, and laboratory testing services that enhance combat casualty care and preventive medicine capabilities.
