Jessica D. Young

Jessica D. Young serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA4686 9 Cons Pk unit of the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain base infrastructure and operational readiness. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts spanning facility maintenance, environmental compliance, and utility system modernization, ensuring Air Force installations remain mission-capable through timely and compliant procurement actions. Her work directly supports the agency’s mandate to deliver preventive and reactive maintenance services, with a strong emphasis on regulatory adherence and long-term infrastructure resilience. Young maintains consistent contracting relationships with RESTORED CLOUD INC, a key vendor delivering specialized technical and facility support services. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established contractors with proven capabilities in infrastructure sustainment, while also fostering partnerships with small businesses that meet specific technical requirements. She engages vendors through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated acquisitions under FAR Part 15, prioritizing performance-based outcomes and clear statement of work definitions. Her set-aside strategy is predominantly non-set-aside, with approximately 76% of awards issued under full and open competition. However, she actively promotes small business participation, allocating nearly 19% of awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and approximately 5% to Women-Owned Small Businesses. Her approach balances broad competition with targeted socioeconomic goals, aligning with Department of the Air Force mandates to expand opportunities for certified small businesses without compromising mission needs. Young’s procurement focus centers on NAICS codes related to commercial and industrial machinery repair (811310), plumbing and HVAC contracting (238220), and specialized manufacturing sectors including communications equipment and sporting goods. Her technical expertise lies in acquiring maintenance, repair, and facility systems services critical to base operations, demonstrating deep familiarity with performance metrics, labor classifications, and facility-specific technical specifications required to sustain Air Force infrastructure.
