Cathy M. Gill

Cathy M. Gill serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA3010 81 Cons Cc under the Department of the Air Force, where she manages the acquisition of critical infrastructure and medical support systems essential to Air Force operational readiness. Her portfolio encompasses the procurement of facility maintenance services, diagnostic and therapeutic equipment, and mission-critical environmental and communications systems. Gill plays a pivotal role in ensuring the sustainment and modernization of aging barracks, medical facilities, and technical infrastructure through competitive and compliant contracting practices aligned with FAR and DFARS requirements. She maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, MARK DUNNING INDUSTRIES, VETERAN ELEVATED SOLUTIONS, LLC, TRIPOD CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, LLC, and SDVO MONITORING SERVICES, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with demonstrated expertise in facility repair, industrial equipment maintenance, and veteran-owned service delivery. Gill’s contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and long-term vendor reliability, often leveraging task order contracts and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms to meet dynamic operational needs. Her procurement patterns show a strong emphasis on small business participation, with 30% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, while the majority—70%—remain open to all competitors. This balanced approach supports socioeconomic goals without compromising mission urgency. Gill frequently awards contracts to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSBs) and other small business concerns with relevant technical capabilities. Her primary NAICS focus includes 811310 for commercial and industrial machinery repair and maintenance, 334515 for precision instrument manufacturing related to electrical signal testing, and 611620 for sports and recreation instruction—reflecting a diverse yet mission-aligned procurement scope that spans facility sustainment, medical diagnostics, and quality-of-life support systems for Air Force personnel.
