Michele D. Jackson

Michele D. Jackson serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing complex acquisitions across technical and facility-based service categories. While specific agency details are not disclosed, her role centers on executing full lifecycle contracting activities in alignment with federal acquisition regulations, ensuring compliance, competition, and mission alignment. She routinely handles solicitations for analytical laboratory equipment, facility operations, educational services, and advertising distribution, reflecting a diverse portfolio that bridges scientific infrastructure and public service delivery. Her work supports mission-critical operational needs through strategic sourcing, competitive bidding, and performance-based contract management. Jackson’s contractor relationships span a broad spectrum of vendors, including manufacturers of precision analytical instruments, parking and facility management firms, higher education institutions, and advertising service providers. She engages both large-capability contractors and small businesses, fostering partnerships grounded in performance accountability and regulatory adherence. Her contracting approach emphasizes transparent competition and vendor diversification, with a clear preference for open competitions that maximize market participation while ensuring technical quality and delivery reliability. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong inclination toward open competition, with 85% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. However, she consistently allocates 15% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business inclusion. While no specific socioeconomic categories like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB are predominant, her reliance on small business set-asides signals a structured effort to expand market access for qualified small entities without mandating specific designations. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 334516, indicating deep expertise in procuring analytical laboratory instruments used in research, environmental testing, and quality control. Secondary areas include facility operations (812930), higher education services (611310), and advertising distribution (541870), revealing a unique blend of scientific, infrastructural, and communications procurement needs. This multidisciplinary focus underscores her ability to navigate highly specialized technical domains alongside general service acquisition.
