Kathy A. Jackson

Kathy Jackson serves as Section Chief at the Department of the Air Force facility FA2521 45 Cons Pk, where she leads the procurement strategy for mission-critical aerospace and base infrastructure systems. In this role, she oversees the acquisition of precision instrumentation, environmental control equipment, and integrated security and communications services essential to sustaining operational readiness at airfield and range complexes. Her portfolio encompasses high-stakes contracts requiring technical rigor and strict compliance with defense standards, ensuring that facility systems meet the demanding performance requirements of aerospace operations. Jackson plays a pivotal role in aligning procurement decisions with the agency’s mission to maintain uninterrupted airpower capabilities through reliable, advanced infrastructure. She maintains established working relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including Roberts Treescaping, LLC for landscape and grounds maintenance services, Thoma-Sea Marine Constructors, L.L.C. for facility support infrastructure, Cypress Solutions LLC for technical systems integration, and Interconnect Wiring LLP for specialized electrical and data cabling. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in niche defense environments, emphasizing reliability, regulatory compliance, and long-term service performance over broad-market competition. Jackson’s contracting activity shows no preference for socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven focus on technical capability and operational readiness over socioeconomic targeting, aligning with the facility’s need for rapid, high-integrity delivery of critical systems without restriction. Her procurement focus is evenly distributed across three core NAICS categories: 561210 (Facilities Support Services), 541219 (Other Accounting Services), and 334511 (Aeronautical Instrument Manufacturing). This triad underscores her expertise in managing both administrative support functions and high-technology acquisitions of navigation, guidance, and environmental control systems vital to airfield and range operations. Her domain knowledge spans aerospace instrumentation, climate control engineering, and mission-critical facility sustainment.
