Jessica Filipski

Jessica Filipski serves as a Contracting Officer within the FA8102 Aflcmc Hbk organization under the Department of the Air Force, where she manages the acquisition of mission-critical aeronautical systems and support services essential to air domain superiority. Her portfolio centers on the sustainment and modernization of navigation, detection, and command systems, including air traffic control infrastructure and tactical avionics. She executes full lifecycle procurements—from market research and solicitation to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning with strategic Air Force modernization goals. Filipski specializes in complex engineering and systems integration contracts requiring rigorous technical evaluation and risk mitigation. Filipski maintains a primary working relationship with BETTER DIRECT, LLC, a trusted contractor delivering specialized engineering and technical support services for aviation systems. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in aeronautical instrumentation and mission-critical software integration. While she engages with a limited pool of high-performing contractors, her approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, continuous evaluation, and long-term partnership development to ensure operational readiness and system reliability. Filipski’s contracting activity is exclusively non-set-aside, with 100% of her awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on maximizing technical capability and operational interoperability over socioeconomic preferences, though she remains compliant with all federal small business regulations. Her approach prioritizes mission need and vendor performance over set-aside mechanisms, ensuring the highest standards of technical fidelity and system integrity. Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 334290 (Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing) and 334511 (Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing), with additional emphasis on flight training services under NAICS 611512. She regularly acquires advanced avionics, radar integration systems, navigation sensors, and simulation-based training platforms, demonstrating deep expertise in airborne systems engineering and operational aviation technology.
