Jessica Reichard

Jessica Reichard serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (N00253), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to advance undersea warfare technologies. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on electronic warfare systems, ruggedized computing platforms, signal processing hardware, and specialized infrastructure for submarine and unmanned undersea vehicle programs. Her work ensures the timely delivery of mission-critical capabilities by aligning contracting strategies with the Center’s R&D and sustainment priorities, bridging technical requirements with federal acquisition regulations to support naval superiority in undersea domains. Reichard maintains consistent partnerships with contractors specializing in undersea technology integration, environmental compliance, and precision manufacturing. Key vendors include Ordnance Technology Service, Inc., Boh Environmental, L.L.C., and Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, reflecting her focus on firms with proven expertise in defense-grade electronics, environmental remediation, and mission-specific system integration. Her contracting patterns indicate a preference for long-term, performance-based engagements with vendors capable of supporting complex, low-volume, high-precision deliverables in secure and ruggedized environments. Her procurement approach reflects a balanced commitment to small business participation, with approximately half of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate effort to foster innovation from qualified small entities. While no other socioeconomic set-asides dominate her portfolio, her consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a strategic alignment with DoN goals to expand the defense industrial base. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 811219 (electronic repair and maintenance), 238220 (HVAC and facility systems), and 326199 (specialty plastics manufacturing), indicating a hybrid portfolio spanning technical sustainment, facility support, and component-level production. She frequently procures ruggedized electronic assemblies, sensor housings, environmental control systems, and custom polymers for undersea applications, demonstrating deep familiarity with the technical demands of naval undersea systems.
