Michael D. Jackson

Michael D. Jackson serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from solicitation through contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while advancing agency mission objectives through strategic sourcing. His portfolio primarily encompasses professional services and technology-related procurements, with a focus on engineering, telecommunications, and management consulting solutions. Jackson is known for his methodical approach to market research, requirement definition, and source selection, ensuring that acquisitions are competitively awarded and aligned with statutory mandates. While specific contractor names are not available, Jackson maintains a balanced vendor ecosystem that includes both large prime contractors and small businesses. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for competitive, open solicitations, yet he actively cultivates relationships with small business concerns through set-aside programs. He engages with vendors across multiple tiers, facilitating teaming arrangements and subcontracting opportunities that promote industry participation and innovation. Jackson demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly 40% of his awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and an additional 6.4% allocated to HUBZone and 8(a) competed programs. This reflects a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and historically underutilized businesses, aligning with federal goals for equitable procurement. His consistent use of set-asides underscores a dedication to fostering a diverse supplier base. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), 511210 (Software Publishers), 334220 (Radio and Television Equipment Manufacturing), 541611 (Management Consulting), and 517410 (Satellite Telecommunications). He regularly acquires technical services related to communications infrastructure, systems engineering, and operational support, indicating deep expertise in defense and federal telecommunications domains. Jackson’s work supports mission-critical capabilities in information systems and infrastructure modernization.
