His portfolio primarily encompasses the acquisition of railroad rolling stock, transportation equipment leasing services, and social science research initiatives, reflecting a unique blend of engineering, logistics, and analytical procurement needs. Hillman plays a pivotal role in aligning contracting strategies with operational requirements, ensuring timely delivery of high-integrity systems and services to support national transportation and policy research objectives.

He engages with both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors, fostering collaborative relationships grounded in FAR compliance and performance-based outcomes. His contracting approach emphasizes competitive bidding, clear statement of work development, and rigorous evaluation of technical proposals to ensure value and accountability. Hillman’s procurement patterns show a strong preference for open competition, with 83.3% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides, reflecting a focus on broad market access.
