Jessica L. Fields serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-apg Cont Ct Software Sector under the Department of the Army, where she manages acquisitions critical to modernizing battlefield communications and mission-critical software systems. Her work directly supports the Army’s digital transformation initiatives by securing secure, scalable IT platforms, wireless infrastructure, and command-and-control solutions that enhance network resilience and intelligence processing across distributed operations. She routinely handles complex software development, systems integration, and IT services contracts under FAR and DFARS guidelines, ensuring compliance with defense-specific cybersecurity and interoperability standards. Fields maintains strategic relationships with a core group of contractors including British Telecommunications Public Limited Company, Liberty Communications, Inc., and Southwestern Industrial Contractors & Riggers, Inc., reflecting a balanced mix of large enterprise vendors and specialized technical service providers. Her contracting patterns indicate a preference for established contractors with proven capabilities in defense-grade communications and infrastructure, while still incorporating small business participation through targeted set-asides.

Her procurement portfolio demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 37.5% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating active efforts to cultivate capability development among qualified small firms. While no other socioeconomic set-asides are dominant, her consistent use of small business set-asides aligns with Army modernization goals to broaden the defense industrial base. Fields’ primary focus lies in NAICS 541513 (Computer Facilities Management Services) and 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), reflecting deep expertise in managed IT services, cloud-enabled mission systems, and enterprise software support. She also procures specialized construction services under NAICS 236220 to support secure facility infrastructure. Her technical domain centers on secure communications networks, data center operations, and integrated software ecosystems essential to tactical and strategic Army operations.
