Jessica Bradhurst

Jessica Bradhurst serves as a Supervisory Contracting Officer responsible for overseeing the acquisition lifecycle of complex industrial and engineered products critical to national infrastructure and defense systems. In this leadership role, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations, including FAR and DFARS, while guiding teams through competitive solicitation, source selection, and contract administration processes. Her portfolio centers on manufacturing and industrial supply chain acquisitions, with a strong emphasis on technical precision and supply chain resilience. She routinely manages sole-source, sealed bid, and negotiated procurements for specialized components used in fluid systems, power generation, and aerospace applications. While specific contractor names are not publicly available, Bradhurst maintains consistent relationships with a diverse base of industrial manufacturers, including mid-tier and small businesses capable of meeting stringent technical specifications for fabricated piping, fluid power components, and aircraft subsystems. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based requirements, clear technical evaluations, and long-term vendor collaboration to ensure reliability and quality control across mission-critical deliveries. Her procurement strategy reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 89.5% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. However, she actively supports small business participation, allocating 10.5% of contracts to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced commitment to both efficiency and socioeconomic goals. She does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead prioritizing broad-based small business eligibility through standard total small business set-asides. Her technical expertise is concentrated in NAICS 332996 (fabricated pipe and pipe fitting manufacturing), 332912 (fluid power valve and hose fitting manufacturing), and 333611 (turbine and turbine generator set units manufacturing), with additional focus on rubber and plastics hosing (326220) and auxiliary aircraft equipment (336413). Bradhurst specializes in procuring high-integrity industrial components that require stringent material certifications, dimensional tolerances, and performance testing—making her a key liaison between engineering requirements and contract execution in advanced manufacturing domains.
