Jesse Harrison

Jesse Harrison serves as a key procurement lead within the W7NJ USPFO Activity MO ARNG, a critical logistics and sustainment node under the Department of the Army. Responsible for managing acquisitions that directly support Army National Guard and active-duty readiness, Harrison oversees contracts for aviation component supply, force support services, and perishable food logistics. His role ensures uninterrupted operational tempo by securing mission-critical assets across continental U.S. training and deployment sites, with a focus on timely delivery of aircraft parts, meal systems, and facility infrastructure support. He executes procurements under FAR guidelines, balancing urgent operational needs with regulatory compliance and socioeconomic objectives. Harrison maintains consistent working relationships with specialized vendors including Columbia Helicopters, Inc., Axxeum Inc., Associated Aircraft Manufacturing & Sales, Inc., Crestwood Technology Group, LLC, and Brightwater UAG, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for niche providers with proven expertise in military aviation maintenance, technical logistics support, and expeditionary food service solutions. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical specificity, and rapid response capability, often resulting in long-term, performance-based agreements with contractors who demonstrate deep domain knowledge in Army National Guard operational environments. A strong advocate for small business participation, Harrison consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Aside contracts, allocating approximately two-thirds of his acquisition portfolio to small businesses under FAR 19.5. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to cultivate a resilient, diversified supplier base capable of meeting the unique demands of decentralized, high-tempo military operations. While no set-asides are designated for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB categories, his reliance on small business eligibility ensures broad economic inclusion and capacity building among qualified vendors. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 333924 for industrial truck and material handling equipment and NAICS 311991 for perishable prepared food manufacturing. These categories reflect his technical expertise in sustaining aviation ground support infrastructure and providing scalable, temperature-controlled meal systems for remote and mobile units. Harrison’s domain knowledge ensures acquisitions align with Army-specific operational standards for durability, safety, and rapid deployment.
