Tammy C Jackson

Tammy C. Jackson serves as a Contract Specialist within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), where she plays a critical role in executing the acquisition lifecycle for advanced naval aviation systems. Responsible for soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts, she ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while supporting NAVAIR’s mission to develop, test, and sustain cutting-edge air platforms for the Navy and Marine Corps. Her portfolio primarily encompasses guided missile systems, propulsion units, and associated aerospace technologies, often involving complex technical requirements and integrated logistics support. She works closely with engineering and program management teams to align contracting strategies with operational readiness goals. Jackson maintains enduring relationships with leading defense prime contractors including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, partnering with them on high-priority programs involving unmanned aerial systems, missile defense architectures, and avionics modernization. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and risk mitigation in technically demanding environments, fostering collaborative relationships with vendors capable of delivering mission-critical capabilities under strict timelines and security protocols. Her contracting activity reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. This indicates a focus on technical capability and mission urgency over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with NAVAIR’s need for proven, large-scale defense industrial base partners capable of meeting stringent performance and security standards. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336414 (Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing), 336419 (Other Guided Missile Parts), and 336415 (Propulsion Units), reflecting deep expertise in missile systems, propulsion technology, and space-grade components. She also engages engineering services under NAICS 541330 to support systems integration and technical analysis. Jackson’s work centers on advanced aerospace and defense technologies critical to maintaining U.S. naval air superiority.
