Phillip Jackson

Phillip Jackson serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Jacksonville, supporting the U.S. Navy’s operational readiness through the acquisition of mission-critical logistics, maintenance, and infrastructure services. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on sustaining naval platforms and crew welfare, with emphasis on security systems, ship repair, and specialized manufacturing. His work directly enables the agency’s core mission of ensuring fleet availability through timely, compliant, and technically sound contracting actions across both commercial and defense-specific supply chains. Jackson maintains strong, ongoing relationships with a core group of contractors including Stronghold SOF Solutions LLC, Gemini Tech Services LLC, Emerald Isle Federal Services, LLC, First Division Consulting Inc., and Curtiss-Wright Electro-Mechanical Corp. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in naval support, systems integration, and electro-mechanical component manufacturing. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, with a focus on vendors who demonstrate technical expertise, past performance, and reliability in delivering complex, mission-essential services under stringent Navy standards. While the majority of his acquisitions are conducted as open competitions (70%), Jackson consistently allocates 30% of his portfolio to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate commitment to fostering small business participation without favoring specific socioeconomic categories. This pattern underscores a balanced approach to competition, prioritizing capability and capacity while expanding opportunities for qualified small firms. His procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 561621 (security systems), 336611 (shipbuilding and repair), and 332618 (fabricated wire products), with additional emphasis on 334220 (communications equipment) and 541512 (computer systems design). These reflect deep technical expertise in naval infrastructure sustainment, electronic systems integration, and industrial maintenance solutions critical to fleet operational continuity.
