Amy Plymale-Hillis

Amy Plymale-Hillis serves as a primary contracting professional within the Defense Logistics Agency’s Land and Maritime division, responsible for managing complex acquisitions of mission-critical mechanical, electrical, and fabricated metal components that sustain naval, land, and expeditionary military platforms. She oversees the procurement of high-reliability electronic assemblies, industrial valves, power transmission systems, and ordnance accessories essential to maintaining operational readiness across DoD platforms. Her work directly supports DLA’s mandate to ensure global logistics resilience through timely, compliant, and technically rigorous contract actions that align with defense supply chain priorities. She maintains established relationships with key contractors including TRIMAN INDUSTRIES INC, ECI DEFENSE GROUP, ITL LLC, KAMPI COMPONENTS CO INC, and ASRC FEDERAL FACILITIES LOGISTICS, LLC, consistently engaging these vendors for specialized manufacturing, assembly, and logistics support services. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical expertise, quality assurance, and supply chain continuity, particularly for components requiring stringent military specifications and traceability under MIL-STD and AS9100 standards. While the majority of her acquisitions—92.4%—are conducted without set-asides, she maintains a measurable commitment to small business participation, with approximately 6.2% of awards allocated under Total Small Business Set-Asides and minor allocations to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned and HUBZone firms. Her socioeconomic contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach that prioritizes mission necessity while supporting broad-based small business engagement in accordance with FAR Part 19. Her technical focus centers on NAICS 334413 (semiconductor and related device manufacturing), 334220 (radio and wireless communications equipment), and 334418 (printed circuit assembly), indicating deep expertise in electronic subsystems, signal conditioning components, and embedded systems integration. She routinely procures capacitors, resistors, connectors, and RF modules critical to command, control, and communication systems, demonstrating specialized knowledge in defense electronics manufacturing and supply chain risk mitigation.
