Hillary Kang-Parker

Hillary Kang-Parker serves as a key procurement professional within the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Gf, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize naval vessels through specialized industrial and technical contracting. She manages acquisitions for precision maintenance, critical component manufacturing, and industrial equipment services essential to submarine and surface ship readiness. Her work ensures the timely delivery of high-integrity parts and repair capabilities that uphold naval operational standards, with a focus on complex mechanical, electrical, and abrasive system support. She interfaces closely with both prime contractors and small business vendors to execute mission-critical contracts under strict naval quality and compliance protocols. Kang-Parker maintains longstanding relationships with major defense and industrial contractors including Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, United Rentals (North America), Inc., and Kardex Remstar, LLC, partnering with firms capable of delivering specialized repair, leasing, and fabrication services under stringent naval specifications. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven track records in naval infrastructure support, particularly those experienced in precision machining, machinery maintenance, and industrial logistics. These partnerships are structured to ensure reliability, rapid response, and compliance with military-grade quality assurance standards. A strong advocate for small business inclusion, Kang-Parker consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides, directing approximately 60% of her acquisition portfolio to small business concerns under FAR 19.5. Her contracting approach actively promotes socioeconomic diversity by engaging qualified small manufacturers and service providers in precision equipment repair, fastener production, and abrasive product supply—domains where small firms offer niche technical expertise critical to shipyard operations. Her primary NAICS focus areas include electronic and precision equipment repair (811210), commercial machinery maintenance (811310), bolt and fastener manufacturing (332722), and abrasive product production (327910). She specializes in procuring high-tolerance mechanical components, industrial tooling, and specialized maintenance services essential to sustaining the Navy’s most advanced vessel systems, demonstrating deep technical fluency in naval industrial supply chains.
