Jessica Ecker

Jessica Ecker serves as a key procurement lead within the Space Systems Command’s FA4610 30 Cons Pk facility, supporting the operational resilience of national security space infrastructure at Vandenberg Space Force Base. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on facility sustainment, utilities modernization, security services, and technical support systems critical to launch and test site readiness. Her role ensures compliance with DoD acquisition regulations while aligning contracting actions with the agency’s strategic priorities of infrastructure modernization and mission-critical continuity. Ecker routinely handles service-based and specialized equipment contracts requiring rigorous technical evaluation and lifecycle support planning. She maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC for site infrastructure work, DIVERSE PEST MANAGEMENT for environmental compliance services, TECH O. R., LLC for technical support, KING FREIGHT LLC for logistics coordination, and DARBONNIER TACTICAL SUPPLY LLC for specialized materiel. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven experience in DoD environmental, security, and operational environments, often requiring niche certifications and on-site clearance access. Ecker demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 63% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Her contracting patterns consistently prioritize small disadvantaged businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, and other socioeconomically designated entities, reflecting a deliberate effort to broaden vendor diversity and enhance local economic impact within the defense industrial base. Her primary NAICS focus areas include security guards and patrol services, commercial machinery leasing, wired telecommunications carriers, hardware manufacturing, and computer training. These reflect a technical domain centered on physical infrastructure protection, communications network sustainment, and workforce development for mission-critical space operations. Her procurement strategy integrates both commercial-off-the-shelf solutions and custom technical services to maintain the operational integrity of high-security space assets.
