Hend Gebril

Hend Gebril serves as a key procurement lead within the 693JJ3 Acquisition and Grants Management unit of the Federal Highway Administration, overseeing the acquisition of technical services critical to advancing national transportation infrastructure. Responsible for managing contracts that support research-driven engineering solutions, operational consulting, and data-informed highway system design, Gebril ensures alignment with federal transportation priorities through rigorous compliance with FAR and agency-specific acquisition protocols. Their portfolio primarily consists of professional and scientific services that enable innovation in mobility safety, resilience, and performance analytics. Gebril maintains consistent working relationships with K & M Transportation Services LLC and the University of California, Los Angeles, fostering partnerships that blend industry expertise with academic research capabilities. These collaborations are characterized by long-term, performance-based contract structures, often leveraging task order mechanisms under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles to respond dynamically to evolving infrastructure needs. The procurement approach emphasizes technical evaluation, past performance, and capability-based selection criteria to ensure high-quality deliverables. A defining feature of Gebril’s contracting pattern is a 100% commitment to Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate and sustained focus on expanding economic opportunity for small businesses in the transportation sector. All procurements are structured to maximize participation by small business concerns, ensuring equitable access to federal contracts without reliance on other socioeconomic categories such as 8(a) or HUBZone. The primary NAICS classification under Gebril’s purview is 512199 (Other Motion Picture and Video Industries), which, in this context, refers to the procurement of digital simulation, data visualization, and transportation modeling services—including 3D traffic flow simulations, geospatial video analytics, and interactive infrastructure planning tools. This reflects a specialized technical domain focused on advanced digital twin applications and immersive decision-support systems for highway engineering and safety analysis.
