Jessica Smith

Jessica Smith serves as the primary contracting lead for the W6QM Micc-ft Carson under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing mission-critical procurements that sustain the operational readiness of elite special operations forces, particularly the 10th Special Forces Group (A). She oversees the acquisition of specialized training services, logistical support, and infrastructure solutions tailored for austere, cold-weather, and high-altitude environments. Her portfolio centers on instructional and field-based support systems essential for maintaining tactical proficiency in extreme conditions, ensuring compliance with DoD standards while aligning with the agency’s strategic emphasis on rapid deployability and mission-specific readiness. Smith maintains consistent partnerships with a select group of specialized vendors, including Tronconi Segarra & Associates LLP, Aleut Field Services, LLC, Vision Distributors LLC, Anyone Not Ready LLC, and Rod’s Alaskan Big Game & Wilderness Guide Services LLC. These contractors provide niche expertise in survival instruction, remote field logistics, cold-weather equipment distribution, and expeditionary training support. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term, performance-based relationships with vendors possessing proven experience in expeditionary and unconventional warfare environments, fostering reliability and mission-specific adaptability. All of Smith’s acquisitions are structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a steadfast commitment to socioeconomic contracting. She consistently awards contracts to small businesses, including those certified as 8(a), HUBZone, and service-disabled veteran-owned firms, ensuring that specialized capabilities are sourced from agile, mission-aligned vendors with deep regional or operational expertise. This pattern reinforces the agency’s mandate to empower small business innovation while meeting unique special operations requirements. Her procurement focus is exclusively under NAICS 611699 (All Other Miscellaneous Schools and Instruction), underscoring her specialization in non-traditional, field-based military instruction and survival training services. She procures customized instructional programs, live-fire scenario support, wilderness survival coaching, and expeditionary logistics training—services that demand highly specialized instructors with real-world operational experience in arctic, alpine, and remote terrains.
