Nicole M. Jackson

Nicole Jackson serves as a key procurement professional within Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Southeast (NAVFACSE), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to deliver resilient, mission-critical infrastructure across the Southeastern U.S. and overseas operational areas. She manages a portfolio of complex acquisitions centered on engineering services and commercial/institutional construction, ensuring alignment with naval readiness requirements. Her work encompasses the full lifecycle of contract execution—from requirements definition and solicitation to award and performance oversight—focusing on high-stakes facilities projects that support naval bases, command centers, and support facilities. Jackson’s expertise lies in navigating federal acquisition regulations to deliver timely, compliant, and mission-effective solutions. She maintains consistent, long-term relationships with top-tier federal contractors including BL Harbert International LLC, Walsh Federal LLC, Sauer Construction, LLC, McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, and Kira Aviation Services LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established contractors with proven capabilities in design-build, construction management, and facility modernization. Jackson’s contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluation, and contractor accountability, fostering a collaborative yet disciplined environment that prioritizes quality, schedule adherence, and safety compliance. While the majority of her acquisitions—approximately 80%—are conducted as full and open competitions, she actively supports small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. Her pattern reflects a balanced strategy: leveraging large, experienced contractors for complex projects while reserving a significant portion for qualified small businesses to promote market diversity and innovation. Her procurement focus is overwhelmingly concentrated in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), reflecting deep expertise in architectural, structural, mechanical, and civil engineering design and analysis. She also frequently procures commercial and institutional building construction under NAICS 236220, ensuring facilities meet rigorous military standards for durability, sustainability, and operational functionality. Her domain expertise spans infrastructure modernization, utility system upgrades, and base operations support, making her a critical enabler of naval force readiness.
