Michele D. Jackson

Michele D. Jackson serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing mission-critical objectives through strategic sourcing. Her portfolio primarily encompasses professional and technical services, with a focus on consulting, research, and security-related support functions. Jackson’s approach emphasizes transparency, competitive bidding, and alignment with agency priorities, ensuring that acquisitions deliver both operational value and regulatory integrity. While specific contractor names are not available, Jackson maintains a diverse vendor ecosystem characterized by active engagement with both large professional services firms and small business concerns. Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach to competition, fostering relationships with firms capable of delivering specialized technical expertise and administrative support. She routinely collaborates with vendors possessing deep domain knowledge in scientific, engineering, and management consulting fields, ensuring that contract solutions are technically sound and responsive to evolving operational needs. Jackson demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly half of her awards designated for 8(a) competed set-asides, indicating a deliberate focus on empowering small disadvantaged businesses. Her preference for 8(a) programs over other set-asides suggests a strategic alignment with developmental contracting goals, prioritizing long-term small business growth and capacity building. The remaining awards, largely unrestricted, reflect a pragmatic balance between small business participation and the need for broad competition to ensure optimal outcomes. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 541690 and 541712, reflecting deep engagement in scientific and technical consulting, as well as physical and engineering research services. She also regularly procures security patrol services (561612) and administrative support (561110, 541611), underscoring her expertise in managing a broad spectrum of professional services. Jackson’s work supports mission-enabling functions across technical, operational, and administrative domains, positioning her as a key facilitator of high-value, compliance-driven acquisitions.
