Monique L. Jones

Monique L. Jones serves as a Contract Specialist with the W4MM USA Joint Munitions Command, where she plays a critical role in executing the lifecycle acquisition of conventional ammunition and explosives systems essential to U.S. Army readiness. Responsible for managing complex procurement actions under FAR and DFARS guidelines, she ensures timely and compliant acquisition of mission-critical munitions components, from raw materials to precision-manufactured subsystems. Her work directly supports the Command’s strategic objectives of modernizing warfighting capabilities and sustaining a resilient supply chain for land, air, and naval forces across the Department of Defense. Monique collaborates with a diverse array of industrial vendors specializing in defense-grade manufacturing, including firms producing fluid power systems, forged steel components, aluminum products, and electronic connectors. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers capable of meeting stringent military specifications, including ITAR compliance and quality assurance standards such as AS9100 and ISO 9001. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical rigor, risk mitigation, and supply chain traceability. A strong advocate for small business participation, Monique prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with nearly half of her acquisitions reserved for small businesses. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate effort to expand access for small manufacturers without 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB certifications, fostering a competitive, inclusive vendor base aligned with DoD socioeconomic goals. Her technical focus centers on NAICS 333996 (fluid power systems), 332111 (iron and steel forging), and 331313 (primary aluminum production), indicating deep expertise in materials and mechanical subsystems critical to munitions performance. She routinely procures high-integrity components for warhead assemblies, propellant systems, and arming/firing mechanisms, demonstrating specialized knowledge in defense manufacturing domains and industrial base sustainment.
