Jessica L Tebbenkamp

Jessica L. Tebbenkamp serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division, supporting the development, testing, and sustainment of advanced naval aviation systems. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on engineering services, training, and facilities support critical to maintaining air superiority and operational readiness. Her acquisitions directly enable the integration of next-generation avionics, electronic warfare systems, and mission-critical aircraft subsystems, aligning with the agency’s strategic priorities in modernizing airborne sensor suites and sustaining legacy platforms. She operates within the Department of the Navy’s acquisition framework, ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations while delivering mission-critical capabilities to the fleet. Tebbenkamp maintains strong working relationships with principal contractors including SABRE SYSTEMS, LLC, THE BOEING COMPANY, SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, SYSTEMS PLANNING AND ANALYSIS, INC., and ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC. These partnerships reflect a reliance on established defense primes and specialized engineering firms capable of delivering complex technical solutions in avionics, systems integration, and aircraft sustainment. Her contracting patterns indicate a preference for long-term, performance-based engagements with vendors possessing deep domain expertise in naval aviation systems. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted without set-asides—reflecting the technical complexity and scale of requirements—she consistently allocates approximately 14.3% of contract opportunities to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This demonstrates a measured but intentional commitment to small business participation, particularly among firms with niche capabilities in training, engineering, and maintenance services. Her procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 611430 (professional and management development training) and 561210 (facilities support services), with significant activity in engineering services (541330) and aerospace systems manufacturing (334511). This underscores her technical expertise in acquiring workforce development programs, maintenance support, and specialized avionics components essential to naval air operations.
