Shane D. Jackson

Shane D. Jackson serves as a Contracting Officer within the W6QK Acc-rsa organization under the Department of the Army, where he is responsible for managing the acquisition of mission-critical aerospace systems and technical services essential to the U.S. Army’s aerial and missile defense modernization efforts. His portfolio centers on the procurement of advanced avionics, propulsion systems, sensor technologies, and integrated support services for platforms such as the UH-60 Black Hawk and AH-64 Apache. Jackson plays a pivotal role in executing full-and-open competitions aligned with the agency’s strategic priorities, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while delivering operational readiness through timely and technically sound contract awards. His primary contractor relationships are with industry leaders such as Lockheed Martin Corporation and Alaska Aerospace Corp, with whom he collaborates on complex, high-stakes defense programs requiring deep technical expertise in systems integration, flight certification, and sustainment engineering. These partnerships are characterized by long-term, performance-based contracting approaches, often involving cost-reimbursement and fixed-price incentive structures to manage technical risk and ensure mission success across the lifecycle of critical defense assets. Jackson’s contracting activity is exclusively conducted under full-and-open competition, with no set-asides applied to his portfolio, reflecting the specialized, non-redundant nature of the capabilities required for Army aerospace modernization. While small business participation is not formally structured through socioeconomic set-asides, his acquisitions remain open to all qualified vendors, with selection driven by technical merit, past performance, and industrial base readiness. His procurement focus is narrowly concentrated in NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—encompassing systems engineering, test and evaluation, technical integration, and mission-specific support services. Jackson’s expertise lies in procuring advanced aerospace engineering services that enable the integration of next-generation sensors, electronic warfare systems, and flight control technologies into existing and emerging Army platforms.
