Valerie L Jamerson

Valerie L. Jamerson serves as a key procurement professional responsible for managing complex acquisitions in the aerospace and defense sector, with a singular focus on aircraft engine and engine parts manufacturing. Her work directly supports national defense and aviation readiness by ensuring the timely acquisition of mission-critical propulsion systems, component assemblies, and related technical services. She exercises full contracting authority under FAR Part 15, overseeing competitive solicitations, source selection processes, and contract administration for high-technology aerospace components. Her role is central to maintaining the operational integrity of military and civilian aviation fleets through rigorous technical evaluation and risk-managed contracting practices. Jamerson’s contractor relationships are primarily with Tier 1 and Tier 2 aerospace manufacturers specializing in turbine engines, fuel control systems, and certified engine parts. She engages with a stable network of qualified industrial suppliers who meet stringent FAA and DoD certification standards, including those with AS9100 and ITAR compliance. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical capability, supply chain resilience, and long-term sustainment support, fostering partnerships grounded in performance accountability and quality assurance protocols. Her procurement profile reflects a strict adherence to full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under no set-aside conditions. This indicates a deliberate focus on technical superiority and industrial capacity over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with mission-critical requirements where only a limited pool of qualified vendors can meet performance benchmarks. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, she ensures compliance with all applicable small business subcontracting plans when required by prime contract terms. Jamerson’s technical domain is exclusively centered on NAICS 336412, encompassing the design, testing, and production of aircraft propulsion systems. She procures everything from gas turbine engines and accessory drives to maintenance kits and repair overhaul services, requiring deep familiarity with military specifications, engineering drawings, and life-cycle support frameworks. Her expertise lies in navigating the intersection of aerospace engineering standards and federal acquisition regulations to secure mission-ready propulsion solutions.
