Jessica Phillips

Jessica Phillips serves as a Contracting Officer/Specialist within the W6QK Acc-ri under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing the acquisition of critical munitions, precision fabricated metal components, and industrial maintenance services essential to Army readiness. She plays a pivotal role in executing strategic procurement initiatives that sustain the Army’s industrial base, ensuring reliable access to ordnance production capabilities, machine tooling, and battlefield support systems. Her portfolio primarily encompasses complex, technical contracts under FAR Part 15, including competitive sealed bids and negotiated procurements for high-integrity manufacturing and maintenance services. Phillips maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including AMD International Technologies LLC, Faxon Machining, LLC, Palantir USG Inc., and Allied Metal Tech, LLC, each providing niche capabilities in ordnance manufacturing, precision machining, and digital logistics support. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical proficiency and quality assurance, often requiring compliance with military specifications and defense supply chain security protocols. She engages with a mix of large-capacity industrial firms and agile small businesses to meet mission-critical delivery timelines. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 40% of awards directed toward set-aside programs, including Total Small Business Set-Asides, Women-Owned Small Businesses, and 8(a) competed contracts. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, she actively prioritizes socioeconomic programs to broaden industrial capacity and foster innovation among underrepresented vendors. Phillips specializes in procurements governed by NAICS codes 332993 (ammunition manufacturing), 332722 (fastener production), and 332999 (miscellaneous fabricated metal products), with additional focus on commercial and industrial machinery repair (811310) and specialty glass manufacturing (327215). Her technical expertise spans ordnance systems, precision tooling, and maintenance of high-value battlefield equipment, ensuring acquisition strategies align with Army modernization and sustainment objectives.
