Jessica Brenner

Jessica Brenner serves as a secondary contracting representative within the Commanding Officer’s office (N63394) under the Department of the Navy, supporting the procurement of mission-critical aerospace components, electronic warfare systems, and secure communications infrastructure. While not the primary contracting officer, she plays a vital role in facilitating acquisition planning, vendor coordination, and contract administration for programs that sustain naval aviation readiness and modernize electronic sensor technologies. Her work directly enables the agency’s focus on cyber-resilient platforms and advanced avionics, ensuring timely delivery of technical solutions aligned with operational requirements. Brenner maintains consistent engagement with key contractors including Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC and Lockheed Martin Corporation, partnering primarily with established defense primes and specialized system integrators. Her involvement includes supporting technical evaluations, performance monitoring, and compliance reviews for high-impact aerospace and electronic systems contracts. She contributes to a procurement ecosystem that prioritizes reliability, interoperability, and rapid fielding of next-generation capabilities, often working in tandem with engineering and logistics teams to align contractual deliverables with mission timelines. A strong advocate for small business participation, Brenner supports an 80% total small business set-aside rate across her portfolio, consistently directing opportunities to small disadvantaged businesses, HUBZone firms, and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster innovation from niche suppliers while meeting stringent defense standards. Her contracting patterns emphasize socioeconomic compliance and supplier diversity, ensuring broad access to Navy procurement pipelines for qualified small entities. Despite the agency’s defense mission, Brenner’s procurement activity is notably concentrated in NAICS codes unrelated to defense—particularly food service contractors (722310) and musical groups/artists (711130), each accounting for 20% of activity, alongside computing infrastructure (518210) and musical instrument manufacturing (339992). This suggests her role may involve supporting quality-of-life or administrative functions for naval installations, complementing the core technical procurement mission with essential non-combat services.
