Jessica L. Bursey

Jessica L. Bursey serves as a Contract Specialist for the Commander (M00264) under the Department of the Navy, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain and modernize naval warfighting capabilities. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts for advanced defense systems, including command and control architectures, tactical computing environments, and sensor/communication platforms essential to operational readiness. Her portfolio emphasizes complex, technology-driven procurements requiring rigorous systems engineering oversight and compliance with defense acquisition regulations, ensuring timely delivery of high-priority capabilities to fleet units. Bursey maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors including GOLDBELT HAWK L.L.C., ALEX-ALTERNATIVE EXPERTS, LLC, TNDA TECHNOLOGIES INC., BC MARKET SOLUTIONS LLC, and BIOSPACE, INC. These vendors provide niche expertise in defense systems integration, technical analysis, and mission support services, often delivering tailored solutions for classified or restricted environments. Her procurement approach reflects a preference for established partners with proven track records in naval systems development, fostering long-term collaboration grounded in technical reliability and regulatory compliance. Her contracting activity is exclusively conducted under open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This reflects a strategic alignment with the agency’s requirement for specialized technical capabilities that currently reside primarily in the broader market rather than within small business pools, prioritizing mission necessity over socioeconomic preferences. Bursey’s procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 334511 (Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing), reflecting her work on radar, sonar, and navigation instrumentation, and NAICS 811219 (Other Personal and Household Goods Repair and Maintenance), indicating significant support for the sustainment and repair of armored vehicle and tactical equipment systems. Her expertise spans both cutting-edge sensor development and legacy platform modernization, positioning her at the intersection of defense innovation and operational endurance.
