Patricia D Jordan

Patricia D. Jordan serves as a Purchasing Specialist and Contracting Officer responsible for managing federal acquisitions in the transportation and logistics sector. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while executing competitive solicitations, evaluating proposals, and awarding contracts that support critical government mobility and freight operations. Her work is central to securing reliable, cost-effective air and maritime freight services that enable the movement of government cargo across domestic and international routes. She routinely handles complex, performance-based contracts under FAR Part 12 and Part 15, with a focus on soliciting services from qualified carriers capable of meeting stringent operational and security requirements. Patricia maintains professional relationships with a diverse pool of certified transportation providers, primarily scheduled air freight carriers and deep-sea shipping operators. Her contracting approach emphasizes competitive bidding and vendor performance accountability, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors who demonstrate operational excellence, regulatory compliance, and logistical reliability. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms possessing the infrastructure and certifications necessary to support high-volume, time-sensitive freight movements under government contract terms. Patricia’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under non-set-aside conditions. This indicates a focus on selecting the most capable and cost-efficient providers regardless of socioeconomic status, consistent with missions requiring specialized, large-scale freight capabilities that may not be readily available among small business concerns. Her approach prioritizes mission need over socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with the technical and scale demands of the transportation services she procures. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 481112 (Scheduled Freight Air Transportation) and 483111 (Deep Sea Freight Transportation), reflecting deep expertise in air cargo logistics and oceanic shipping operations. She specializes in acquiring full-lift, intermodal, and expeditionary freight services, ensuring seamless movement of government assets through regulated, high-security supply chains. Her domain knowledge includes compliance with DOT, DHS, and international shipping standards, making her a key resource for mission-critical logistics contracting.
