Rose Jordan

Rose Jordan serves as a Contract Specialist within the 436th Contracting Squadron, Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain Air Force installation readiness. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for facility maintenance, infrastructure resilience, and aircraft support systems, ensuring compliance with FAR and AFMC procurement policies. She specializes in service-based acquisitions tied to hangar maintenance, security system upgrades, and operational facility sustainment, aligning each procurement with the squadron’s strategic imperative to preserve air base operational capability. While specific contractor names are not available, Rose Jordan cultivates partnerships with a diverse pool of vendors, including small businesses and specialized technical service providers experienced in military facility operations. Her working relationships emphasize responsiveness, compliance, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor collaboration to meet dynamic operational demands across Air Force installations. Rose demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly 61% of her awards directed toward small business set-asides—equally split between total small business and service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) categories. Her consistent use of FAR 19.5 set-asides reflects a deliberate strategy to promote veteran entrepreneurship and small business growth within the defense industrial base. Her procurement focus centers on niche NAICS categories including 611620 (recreational instruction services), 424920 (book and periodical wholesale), and 336413 (other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing). These reflect an unusual but mission-aligned blend of administrative support, facility logistics, and aviation component procurement, indicating expertise in managing non-traditional defense contracts that support both infrastructure and ancillary operational needs.
