Madeline R. Jackson

Madeline R. Jackson serves as a key procurement professional responsible for managing engineering services acquisitions within her agency, ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations and aligning procurements with mission-critical technical objectives. She oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and performance monitoring—focusing exclusively on professional engineering services. Her role is central to the agency’s mission of delivering technically sound, cost-effective solutions to support infrastructure, systems integration, and technical advisory services. Jackson’s acquisitions are strategically designed to meet complex engineering demands while maintaining rigorous standards for quality, schedule adherence, and regulatory compliance. Jackson’s contracting activity is characterized by a broad and diverse vendor base, with no single contractor dominating her portfolio. She engages with a wide spectrum of firms, including large prime contractors, mid-tier engineering consultants, and specialized technical service providers, fostering competitive environments that promote innovation and value. Her procurement approach emphasizes open competition and performance-based contracting, encouraging vendors to demonstrate technical capability, past performance, and operational readiness rather than relying on exclusive partnerships. Her procurement pattern reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under non-set-aside conditions. This indicates a deliberate focus on selecting the most qualified provider regardless of socioeconomic status, rather than targeting specific categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While she does not prioritize set-asides, her process remains transparent and compliant with all socioeconomic reporting requirements. Jackson’s expertise is narrowly focused on NAICS 541330—Engineering Services—encompassing civil, mechanical, electrical, and systems engineering disciplines. She routinely procures design, analysis, testing, and technical oversight services for infrastructure, facility modernization, and technical systems development. Her domain expertise lies in complex, mission-critical engineering projects requiring certified professionals and adherence to industry standards such as ASME, IEEE, and AISC.
