Rashid Jackson

Rashid Jackson serves as a key procurement lead within the Farm Production and Conservation Business Center’s Management Services Division, overseeing real estate infrastructure acquisitions critical to sustaining USDA field operations. Responsible for securing and managing nonresidential leasehold interests across rural and underserved regions, Jackson ensures the agency maintains a scalable, mission-critical physical footprint to support farm assistance, conservation programs, and disaster response initiatives. His acquisitions are exclusively focused on long-term facility leasing and space management, aligning with the agency’s strategic goal of enabling accessible, on-the-ground service delivery to agricultural stakeholders. Jackson maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of commercial real estate and property management firms, including Greenwood Properties, L.L.P. and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, which provide turnkey solutions for leasing, site preparation, and facility adaptation. His working model emphasizes established vendor partnerships with proven experience in federal real estate compliance, infrastructure readiness, and rural property management. These relationships are characterized by recurring contract performance and a high degree of operational alignment with USDA’s logistical and geographic requirements. There is no preference for socioeconomic set-asides; all acquisitions are conducted under full and open competition, reflecting a deliberate strategy to maximize efficiency and access to specialized real estate expertise. While small business participation is not mandated through set-asides, the contracting approach remains transparent and competitive, ensuring value-driven outcomes aligned with federal procurement integrity standards. The division’s procurement portfolio is entirely concentrated under NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—indicating a singular focus on leasing commercial and agricultural support facilities. Jackson’s expertise lies in negotiating long-term leases for office, storage, and field operation spaces, with an emphasis on compliance with federal real property standards, environmental suitability, and accessibility for rural service delivery.
