Jesse M. Ball

Jesse M. Ball serves as a procurement specialist responsible for managing complex acquisitions across critical infrastructure and industrial sectors. With a focus on ensuring timely and compliant contract execution, Ball supports the agency’s mission by overseeing the procurement of specialized manufacturing equipment, logistics services, and environmental control systems. Their work spans the full acquisition lifecycle—from requirements definition and market research to solicitation, evaluation, and award—ensuring alignment with federal contracting regulations and operational priorities. Ball typically handles competitive sealed bidding and negotiated contracts under FAR Part 15, with a strong emphasis on technical evaluation and source selection criteria. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Ball’s procurement patterns suggest consistent engagement with manufacturers of electrical and control devices, warehousing operators, and environmental services providers. Their contracting approach reflects a preference for established vendors with proven technical capability in niche industrial domains, often leveraging multiple award schedules and government-wide acquisition contracts to streamline sourcing. Vendor partnerships are characterized by a balance of large-capacity suppliers and qualified small businesses, with an emphasis on performance-based outcomes and supply chain resilience. Ball demonstrates a clear commitment to small business participation, with 20% of acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity within the small business community, though no specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB are predominant. Their contracting behavior aligns with broader agency goals to broaden vendor diversity while maintaining rigorous performance standards. The primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 335931 (current-carrying wiring devices), 493110 (general warehousing and storage), and 541614 (logistics consulting), indicating deep expertise in industrial electrical systems, facility logistics, and operational process optimization. Additional activity in solid waste combustion (562213) and measuring/control device manufacturing (334519) underscores a technical proficiency in environmental compliance and precision instrumentation procurement.
