Kalisha Jones

Kalisha Jones serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QM Micc-ft Jackson, a critical support element of the U.S. Army’s installation services mission under the Department of Defense. She manages the acquisition of facility maintenance, security, and operational support services essential to sustaining mission-critical military infrastructure. Her work ensures that base-wide services—from physical security systems to environmental compliance—are procured in alignment with Army readiness objectives. Jones specializes in service-based acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on long-term, performance-based contracts that support continuous operational functionality across military installations. Her primary contractor relationships center on small businesses, most notably the South Carolina Commission for the Blind and Guardian South Termite and Pest Control, LLC, reflecting a deliberate emphasis on niche, mission-aligned vendors. These partnerships are typically non-competitive, sole-source, or limited-compete arrangements under simplified acquisition procedures, often leveraging special authorities for nonprofit agencies serving the blind and specialized pest management services. Jones fosters stable, long-term vendor relationships grounded in compliance, performance metrics, and mission-specific expertise rather than broad market competition. Jones exhibits a 100% commitment to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, consistently directing all procurements to small business concerns without regard to specific socioeconomic categories like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This reflects a strategic preference for broad small business inclusion, prioritizing capacity and capability over certification type. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a deliberate effort to expand economic opportunity within the small business community while maintaining service quality and operational continuity. Her procurement activity is exclusively focused on NAICS 513130 (Book Publishers), indicating a specialized, possibly administrative or training-related acquisition portfolio involving printed or digital educational materials, manuals, or instructional publications for military personnel. This unique focus suggests expertise in procuring content-driven, compliance-sensitive publications critical to training, safety, and regulatory adherence across Army installations.
