Tammy Jackson

Tammy Jackson serves as a key procurement professional within the FA8538 unit of the Department of the Air Force, supporting the sustainment and modernization of critical aerospace systems, particularly the C-5 and F-15 aircraft fleets. She manages acquisitions for mission-critical avionics, hydraulic components, and precision instrumentation essential to maintaining operational readiness. Her role centers on ensuring timely delivery of technical support services and repair solutions that extend the service life of aging platforms while upholding stringent Air Force maintenance standards. Jackson handles complex contracts requiring deep technical oversight, often involving specialized maintenance, calibration, and system integration services for legacy and upgraded aerospace architectures. She maintains consistent working relationships with industry leaders including THOMAS INSTRUMENT, INCORPORATED, L3 AVIATION PRODUCTS INC, and LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION, partnering with firms possessing specialized expertise in flight control systems, electronic test equipment, and aerospace component repair. These relationships reflect a preference for established defense contractors with proven capabilities in high-reliability aviation systems, though she actively balances these partnerships with opportunities for small business participation. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical proficiency, supply chain resilience, and long-term sustainment support. While the majority of her acquisitions are unrestricted, approximately 25% are set aside for total small business participation under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to fostering competition among qualified small vendors. She does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead prioritizing broad small business eligibility to expand the pool of capable providers in niche technical domains. Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 334515 for instrument manufacturing related to electrical signal testing, NAICS 811210 for precision equipment repair and maintenance, and NAICS 238220 for specialized HVAC and environmental control systems integration. These reflect her technical domain expertise in avionics calibration, component overhaul, and environmental system sustainment critical to aircraft mission reliability.
