Jessica Wade

Jessica Wade supports the Department of the Air Force’s FA8601 Aflcmc Pzio office in executing mission-critical procurement activities focused on high-precision aerospace and defense systems. She manages the acquisition of analytical laboratory instruments, electromedical and electrotherapeutic devices, and industrial measurement systems essential for flight testing, fuel analysis, and environmental monitoring. Her work directly sustains airpower readiness by ensuring the timely delivery of calibrated, laboratory-grade equipment and related maintenance services that meet stringent military and federal technical standards. She operates within a complex acquisition environment requiring deep technical oversight and compliance with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) requirements. Her primary contractor relationship is with C MARTIN CO INC, a trusted vendor with demonstrated expertise in delivering specialized instrumentation and technical support services. She engages with a limited but highly qualified pool of vendors, prioritizing proven technical capability and reliability over volume. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established suppliers with proven performance in aerospace-grade equipment, often requiring rigorous qualification and calibration documentation under MIL-STD and NIST traceability protocols. Jessica’s procurement portfolio is predominantly open competition, with 81.5% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, reflecting the specialized nature of the equipment and services required. However, she consistently allocates 18.5% of opportunities to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but intentional commitment to small business participation without compromising mission-critical performance standards. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 611430 for professional training in technical systems management, 334516 for analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing, and 337214 for specialized non-wood office furniture used in controlled environments. Her expertise lies at the intersection of advanced instrumentation procurement, technical compliance, and mission-critical logistics, ensuring that the Air Force’s test and analysis capabilities remain at the forefront of aerospace innovation.
