Jessica L. Bartkowski serves as a Contract Specialist within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), where she plays a critical role in executing the acquisition lifecycle for advanced naval aviation systems. Responsible for soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts under N00019, she supports the sustainment and modernization of carrier-based and expeditionary aircraft, guided missile systems, and critical avionics components. Her portfolio encompasses complex, high-stakes procurements requiring deep technical oversight, compliance with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) requirements, and coordination with engineering and logistics stakeholders to ensure operational readiness across the Navy and Marine Corps. Bartkowski maintains consistent contracting relationships with leading defense prime contractors including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, frequently engaging them on procurements for aircraft subsystems, mission systems integration, and logistics support services. Her working patterns reflect a preference for established industry partners with proven track records in aerospace and defense innovation, ensuring technical reliability and timely delivery of mission-critical capabilities. She collaborates closely with these vendors to navigate technical specifications, performance-based acquisition frameworks, and systems engineering integration requirements. Her contracting activity shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with NAVAIR’s mission to prioritize technical superiority and operational urgency over socioeconomic preferences, while still adhering to all applicable small business outreach and subcontracting reporting obligations. Bartkowski’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and 336414 (Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing), indicating deep expertise in procuring flight control systems, weapon integration hardware, propulsion components, and missile guidance subsystems. Her technical domain spans avionics, weapons delivery systems, and support equipment essential to naval airpower, requiring specialized knowledge of MIL-STD specifications and aerospace quality standards.
