Ursela C. Jackson

Ursela Jackson serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-apg office under the Department of the Army, operating under code W91CRB, where she supports the development and fielding of advanced intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance systems. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle management of high-technology acquisitions focused on aeronautical instrumentation, radio frequency platforms, and battlefield data analytics. She specializes in securing cutting-edge analytical laboratory instruments and mission-critical sensing systems that enhance tactical decision-making and networked battlefield awareness, ensuring alignment with the Army’s modernization priorities in next-generation ISR capabilities. While specific contractor names are not currently available in the procurement record, Jackson’s acquisition portfolio consistently engages with specialized defense technology vendors capable of delivering precision instrumentation and embedded analytics solutions. Her working relationships emphasize technical agility, compliance with military specifications, and rapid prototyping capabilities, often requiring vendors with experience in ruggedized hardware, RF signal processing, and real-time data fusion architectures. She prioritizes partners who can meet stringent DoD certification standards and support rapid fielding cycles. Jackson’s contracting approach reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 83.3% of procurements conducted as non-set-aside actions, while maintaining a consistent 16.7% allocation to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This balance signals a strategic commitment to fostering innovation from small, agile firms without compromising mission-critical scale or technical rigor. Her pattern indicates a deliberate effort to integrate qualified small businesses into the defense industrial base while ensuring mission readiness. Her procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 334516—Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing—reflecting deep expertise in procuring precision sensors, spectral analyzers, signal conditioners, and field-deployable data acquisition systems. She consistently sources advanced instrumentation that supports battlefield analytics, electronic warfare countermeasures, and multi-sensor fusion platforms, making her a critical link in the Army’s push to digitize the tactical edge.
