Jessie Hight

Jessie Hight serves as a key procurement professional within the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA), supporting the agency’s mission to secure the defense industrial base through personnel vetting and cybersecurity infrastructure. While their formal title is not publicly listed, Hight plays a central role in managing acquisitions aligned with DCSA’s core functions, particularly those involving background investigation systems, identity verification platforms, and secure data management solutions. Their procurement activities are narrowly focused on technical services that enable the agency’s modernization of clearance workflows and digital trust frameworks, ensuring compliance with federal security standards across sensitive government networks. Hight maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, including SWISH DATA CORPORATION, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, SPATHE SYSTEMS LLC, ROCKWOOD COMPANY LLC, and IDEMIA IDENTITY & SECURITY USA LLC. These vendors specialize in identity management, biometric authentication, data analytics for security clearance processing, and secure credentialing systems. The working relationship pattern reflects a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in federal compliance, cybersecurity accreditation, and large-scale data processing environments, often partnering with firms that hold FISMA, FedRAMP, or NIST 800-53 certifications. All of Hight’s acquisitions are structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a firm commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. Every contract is intentionally reserved for small businesses, ensuring equitable access to mission-critical opportunities and fostering innovation within the national security supply chain. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to build capacity among small firms capable of delivering secure, scalable solutions tailored to DCSA’s unique operational needs. The procurement portfolio is exclusively aligned with NAICS 561450 (Credit Bureaus), which, in this context, encompasses the collection, verification, and analysis of personal and employment data for security clearance determinations. Hight specializes in acquiring services related to automated records retrieval, background investigation automation, identity resolution platforms, and secure data exchange systems—technical domains critical to modernizing the federal personnel vetting ecosystem.
