Gil Dobison

Gil Dobison serves as the primary contracting lead at the Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk (NAVSUP FLC Norfolk), where he oversees the acquisition of mission-critical logistics, engineering, and technical services essential to fleet sustainment. Responsible for managing complex procurements under the N00189 contracting vehicle, Dobison ensures alignment with the Navy’s operational readiness goals by securing specialized support in systems maintenance, communications infrastructure, and workforce training. His portfolio encompasses a broad range of services requiring technical precision and regulatory compliance, with a focus on delivering timely, high-integrity solutions that directly support naval platform availability and maritime superiority. Dobison maintains consistent relationships with a select group of prime contractors, including OBSIDIAN GLOBAL, LLC, Deloitte & Touche LLP, and Computational Physics Inc., reflecting a preference for firms with proven expertise in defense logistics, systems engineering, and advanced technical consulting. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and long-term vendor partnerships, often leveraging Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) and Other Transaction Authority (OTA) mechanisms to expedite responsive support. He collaborates closely with contractors possessing deep domain knowledge in naval environments, ensuring solutions are tailored to the unique demands of fleet operations. Dobison demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately 40% of his awards directed toward small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and an additional 5% reserved for HUBZone firms. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, his consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a deliberate strategy to foster innovation and resilience within the defense industrial base. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 541611 (management consulting), 541490 (specialized design services), and 541519 (computer-related services), reflecting a demand for technical advisory support, systems integration, and IT infrastructure management. He frequently acquires flight training services and computer facilities management solutions, indicating deep engagement with naval aviation sustainment and digital modernization initiatives.
