Tammy C. Jackson serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), supporting the acquisition and lifecycle sustainment of advanced naval aviation systems critical to U.S. Navy and Marine Corps air superiority. She manages complex contract actions for high-priority defense programs involving guided missile systems, aerospace platforms, and integrated avionics, ensuring alignment with NAVAIR’s mission to modernize carrier-based and expeditionary air capabilities. Her work spans the full acquisition lifecycle—from requirements definition and source selection to contract award and performance oversight—focusing on technically demanding, mission-critical systems that support national defense objectives. Jackson maintains consistent working relationships with leading defense prime contractors, including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, partnering with organizations capable of delivering sophisticated aerospace and weapons systems. Her procurement approach emphasizes collaboration with industry leaders possessing proven technical expertise in missile development, unmanned aerial systems, and integrated combat electronics. These relationships are built on long-term program continuity, technical rigor, and adherence to defense acquisition regulations, ensuring reliable delivery of high-performance systems under stringent operational constraints. Jackson’s contracting portfolio reflects a strict focus on full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This indicates a deliberate preference for leveraging the full industrial base, prioritizing technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally targeted in her portfolio, her procurement decisions remain compliant with all federal acquisition regulations and emphasize best-value outcomes based on technical merit and system performance. Her primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 336414—Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing—reflecting deep expertise in missile systems, precision-guided munitions, and related space-enabled defense technologies. She routinely procures advanced weapons integration, guidance and control subsystems, and associated test and evaluation services, demonstrating specialized knowledge in aerospace defense engineering and systems integration.
