A strong advocate for small business participation, Jamison prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, which account for over half of her acquisitions. She also regularly utilizes HUBZone and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, reflecting a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. Her portfolio demonstrates balanced support for small businesses while maintaining operational requirements for mission-critical capabilities. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), encompassing hull fabrication, dry docking, and marine system retrofits. Secondary areas include specialized marine coatings and navigational services, underscoring her technical proficiency in naval engineering domains and maritime logistics support.
