Lucas A Jacobsen

Lucas A. Jacobsen serves as a Contract Negotiator responsible for managing the procurement lifecycle for complex professional services and specialized aerospace components. In this role, he ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while negotiating terms that balance mission needs with fiscal responsibility. His acquisitions primarily involve technical services and manufacturing contracts requiring rigorous evaluation of technical proposals, cost realism, and performance risk. Jacobsen plays a critical role in advancing the agency’s acquisition strategy by fostering transparent, competitive processes that promote innovation and accountability. While specific contractor names are not available, Jacobsen’s contracting patterns indicate consistent engagement with a diverse pool of vendors, including both large prime contractors and small businesses capable of delivering high-precision technical solutions. His working relationships emphasize collaborative negotiation, clear performance metrics, and adherence to FAR requirements, particularly in areas requiring specialized technical expertise or proprietary manufacturing capabilities. He maintains a balanced approach, engaging both established industry players and emerging suppliers to ensure a resilient and competitive vendor base. Jacobsen demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately one-third of his awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for small businesses without relying on more restrictive socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a) or HUBZone. His approach supports broad-based economic inclusion while maintaining procurement efficiency and market competitiveness. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services) and NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing). He regularly procures specialized engineering support, systems integration services, and custom-manufactured aerospace components requiring precise technical specifications. This dual-domain expertise enables him to manage acquisitions spanning both service-based consulting and high-reliability manufacturing, demonstrating proficiency in both technical evaluation and supply chain risk mitigation.
