SFC Jason Edwards

SFC Jason Edwards serves as a key procurement lead within Headquarters, U.S. Army Special Operations Command (USASOC), supporting the agency’s mission to equip and sustain elite special operations forces through specialized training and operational readiness programs. He manages the acquisition of professional development, leadership education, and tactical instructional services critical to maintaining doctrinal excellence across SOF units. His portfolio centers on contracting for convention, trade show, and event management services that facilitate specialized training symposia, doctrine dissemination events, and interagency coordination forums essential to SOF readiness. Edwards operates within a highly focused acquisition environment where programmatic needs are met through targeted, mission-aligned contracting vehicles. He maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized vendors, including AMD International Technologies LLC, SOF Landing LLC, Terrestris, LLC, and Strategic Solutions Unlimited, Inc.—all of which provide expert event planning, instructional design, and operational support services tailored to special operations requirements. These partnerships reflect a preference for contractors with proven experience in military-specific training environments, secure event execution, and doctrinal content delivery. Edwards fosters collaborative, long-term vendor relationships grounded in performance reliability and mission understanding. His contracting activity is overwhelmingly dominated by Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with 92.9% of awards reserved exclusively for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate and sustained commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals, ensuring that specialized niche vendors—often with prior military or SOF experience—have equitable access to mission-critical opportunities. Set-aside preferences align closely with the unique capabilities of small firms capable of delivering agile, responsive, and secure training support services. The sole NAICS code driving his portfolio is 561920 (Convention and Trade Show Organizers), underscoring his expertise in procuring event management services for high-stakes military training events. He specializes in acquiring end-to-end event execution, including venue logistics, curriculum integration, speaker coordination, and secure information dissemination—all tailored to the operational tempo and classification requirements of U.S. Special Operations Command.
