Madeline R Jackson

Madeline Regina Jackson serves as a Contract Specialist within the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (N61340), where she plays a pivotal role in acquiring advanced training systems critical to naval aviation readiness. Her portfolio encompasses the procurement of immersive simulation platforms, mission-critical avionics, and integrated training infrastructure designed to enhance pilot and aircrew proficiency. She manages the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation to award and administration—ensuring alignment with Department of the Navy modernization priorities and compliance with federal acquisition regulations. Her work directly supports the development of next-generation tactical training environments that replicate real-world maritime combat scenarios. Jackson maintains consistent procurement relationships with key industry partners, including STRACON SERVICES GROUP, LLC and FLIGHTSAFETY INTERNATIONAL INC, both of which provide specialized training system integration, simulation software, and flight training device services. These partnerships reflect a focus on vendors with deep domain expertise in military aviation training systems, avionics, and human-machine interface technologies. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical rigor, and vendor accountability to ensure systems meet stringent operational requirements. A strong advocate for socioeconomic diversity in federal contracting, Jackson prioritizes small business participation, with nearly half of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She also actively utilizes HUBZone set-asides, reflecting a deliberate effort to engage economically disadvantaged communities. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a balanced approach between open competition and targeted socioeconomic initiatives to broaden the supplier base. Her primary NAICS focus areas include computer peripheral equipment manufacturing, audio and video equipment production, and office furniture manufacturing—all aligned with the hardware and environmental components of immersive training systems. She routinely procures custom-built simulation hardware, training consoles, and integrated avionics testbeds, demonstrating technical fluency in defense training infrastructure and human-centered system design.
