Jessie L. Hight serves as a Contract Specialist with FA7037 AMIC Det 2 JBTS, a critical acquisition unit within the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining and modernizing air operations infrastructure. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of procurements for advanced engineering, information technology, and secure communications systems, with a focus on software-defined radio technologies, integrated command and control platforms, and cyber-enabled mission capabilities. Her work directly supports the agency’s strategic imperative to enhance operational readiness through cutting-edge technical solutions, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical timelines. While specific contractor names are not publicly identifiable, Jessie maintains a diverse vendor ecosystem that includes both large defense contractors and specialized small businesses delivering IT infrastructure, custom software development, and systems integration services. She fosters collaborative relationships with vendors capable of meeting stringent DoD security standards, particularly those experienced in secure cloud environments, data processing, and mission-critical software deployment. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical rigor, risk mitigation, and performance-based outcomes. Jessie consistently prioritizes small business participation, with 25% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5.

Her approach aligns with Air Force initiatives to broaden the defense industrial base through inclusive procurement practices. Her primary NAICS focus spans custom computer programming services, computing infrastructure provision, and administrative management consulting—each representing 25% of her portfolio. She regularly procures bespoke software solutions, data center services, and systems engineering support tailored to secure air operations environments, demonstrating deep familiarity with DoD IT modernization priorities and mission-essential communications architectures.
