Jessica Phillips supports the Department of the Army’s W6QK Acc-ri in executing critical procurement actions to sustain and modernize the Army’s industrial base for ordnance, precision components, and battlefield support systems. She manages the acquisition of specialized fabricated metal products, machine tools, and power transmission equipment essential to ammunition production and weapons system lifecycle support. Her work ensures operational readiness by aligning contracting strategies with the Army’s industrial modernization priorities, focusing on technical specifications that meet rigorous military standards for durability, precision, and reliability in high-stress environments. Phillips maintains consistent relationships with key contractors including AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, FAXON MACHINING, LLC, PALANTIR USG INC, and Allied Metal Tech, LLC, each providing specialized manufacturing, advanced machining, and mission-critical software integration services. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical capability, quality assurance compliance, and responsiveness to urgent field requirements. She frequently engages firms with expertise in high-tolerance metal fabrication and defense-grade system integration, fostering reliable supply chains for mission-critical components. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to small business participation, with approximately half of her acquisitions set aside for total small businesses under FAR 19.5, while the remainder remain open to all competitors. This approach ensures competitive bidding while actively expanding opportunities for small manufacturers capable of meeting stringent defense specifications. She consistently prioritizes socioeconomic programs that enhance industrial resilience through diversified vendor engagement. Phillips specializes in NAICS 335311 (Power, Distribution, and Specialty Transformer Manufacturing) and 332999 (All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing), procuring custom transformers, precision-fabricated housings, gear assemblies, and specialized tooling used in munitions handling and field maintenance systems. Her technical expertise lies in the acquisition of components requiring tight tolerances, heat-treated alloys, and compliance with military standards such as MIL-SPEC and AS9100, ensuring interoperability across Army platforms.
