Delores Hill

Delores Hill serves as Contract Manager at the Headquarters of Air Combat Command’s Acquisition Management Integration Center (FA4890), where she oversees the end-to-end procurement lifecycle for mission-critical defense systems supporting air dominance and pilot readiness. Her portfolio centers on advanced training systems, command and control infrastructure, and technical services essential to sustaining combat-ready forces. She manages complex contract actions across multiple phases—solicitation, evaluation, award, and performance oversight—ensuring alignment with Air Force acquisition regulations and operational requirements. Her work directly enables the modernization of tactical aviation capabilities through timely and compliant acquisition strategies. Hill maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including VETPRIDE-EMI MAINTENANCE SOLUTIONS, LLC, MILTRAIN JV II LLC, and JBW FEDITC JV LLC, all of which provide specialized services in flight training systems, simulation infrastructure, and mission-critical technical support. These partnerships reflect a preference for joint venture entities and experienced defense contractors capable of delivering integrated, high-fidelity solutions under stringent security and performance standards. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluations, and long-term sustainment planning. While the majority of her acquisitions (83.3%) are competed without set-asides, Hill demonstrates a targeted commitment to small business participation, with 16.7% of awards directed toward 8(a) certified firms. This reflects a balanced strategy that prioritizes competition while intentionally integrating socioeconomically disadvantaged businesses into the defense supply chain, particularly where specialized capabilities align with 8(a) strengths. Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 611512 (Flight Training), which accounts for 40% of her portfolio, alongside significant activity in computer systems design (541512), computer facilities management (541513), and specialized maintenance services (811219). She routinely acquires advanced flight simulators, virtual training environments, cybersecurity-enabled command systems, and mission support infrastructure, demonstrating deep expertise in aerospace training technologies and defense IT ecosystems.
