Jessica I Quinones

Jessica Quinones serves as Lead Contract Specialist for the Commanding General under the Department of the Navy, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain naval and marine operational readiness. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts for maintenance, logistics, and specialized support services essential to combat systems, mobility assets, and expeditionary infrastructure. Her work ensures timely procurement of equipment and technical services that uphold force readiness across both garrison and deployed environments, aligning closely with the agency’s strategic priorities in equipment reliability and mission-enabling capabilities. Quinones maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including MANCON LLC, GEMINI TECH SERVICES LLC, CHEMBLE SOLUTIONS, LLC, MICROTECHNOLOGIES LLC, and SAELIG COMPANY, INC. These partnerships span technical services, specialized equipment procurement, and mission support solutions, reflecting a pattern of collaboration with vendors capable of delivering complex, low-volume, high-reliability products and services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous compliance, and vendor accountability to meet stringent military standards. She demonstrates a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately half of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, while the remainder remain open to all competitors. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster small business engagement without compromising operational flexibility. Her contracting patterns consistently prioritize small business participation, particularly among firms with relevant technical capabilities in defense-adjacent industries. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334310 (Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing), 541720 (Research and Development in the Social Sciences and Humanities), and 541810 (Advertising Agencies), indicating a unique blend of technical, analytical, and communication support needs. She procures specialized electronic systems, operational research services, and mission communication tools, demonstrating expertise in integrating non-traditional defense contractors into naval readiness ecosystems.
