Jessica Dekan

Jessica Dekan serves as a Contract Specialist for W6QM MICC Ft. McCoy (RC), a critical installation support unit under the Department of the Army. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions to sustain operational readiness across military infrastructure, including custodial services, grounds maintenance, facility construction, and waste management. Her acquisitions are primarily performance-based, leveraging FAR Part 37 and IDIQ contract vehicles to ensure consistent, high-quality service delivery across dynamic garrison environments. She works closely with project managers and technical evaluators to align contracting strategies with mission-critical readiness requirements, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and installation-specific operational standards. Jessica maintains established working relationships with a core group of contractors including YUKON MANAGEMENT, LLC, MGS CONSTRUCTION SERVICES INC., OK2 CONSTRUCTION, LLC, RYAN HERRING CONSTRUCTION INC, and A & J CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT, LLC. These partnerships are typically formed through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements under general engineering and facilities support categories. Her approach emphasizes contractor performance accountability, clear scope definition, and post-award oversight to ensure timely delivery of infrastructure services that meet Army installation standards. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to small business participation, with 40% of her awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, while the remaining 60% remain open to all competitors. She actively promotes socioeconomic contracting opportunities, prioritizing small businesses with proven capabilities in construction and facility services, though she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides. Jessica’s primary NAICS focus areas include 324110 (Petroleum Refineries), 332311 (Prefabricated Metal Building Manufacturing), and 332999 (Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Products), reflecting her involvement in specialized infrastructure components such as modular buildings, metal fabrication for facility upgrades, and site-specific construction elements. Her technical expertise lies in procuring durable, mission-adapted infrastructure solutions that support the Army’s installation sustainment mission.
