Jamie A Filler

Jamie A. Filler serves as Supervisory Contract Specialist at the Military Sealift Fleet Support Command Norfolk, overseeing the acquisition of critical maintenance, repair, and modernization services for the U.S. Navy’s non-combatant fleet. In this leadership role, Filler manages complex contract actions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, ensuring compliance with defense procurement standards while supporting the operational readiness of government-owned vessels. Their portfolio primarily encompasses shipbuilding and repair, marine propulsion systems, and industrial equipment maintenance, requiring deep technical knowledge of naval engineering and maritime infrastructure. Filler ensures timely execution of contracts that sustain the Navy’s maritime logistics capability through strategic sourcing and risk-managed acquisition planning. While specific contractor names are not disclosed, Filler maintains consistent partnerships with a diverse range of industrial vendors, including specialized shipyards, marine engineering firms, and certified maintenance providers. Their contracting patterns reflect a preference for established contractors with proven expertise in naval vessel systems, particularly those capable of delivering integrated repair solutions for propulsion, HVAC, and navigation instrumentation. Filler fosters collaborative relationships with vendors who demonstrate technical proficiency, quality assurance compliance, and responsiveness to urgent fleet sustainment requirements. A strong advocate for small business participation, Filler consistently structures approximately 31.2% of acquisitions as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate commitment to expanding economic opportunity within the defense industrial base. While the majority of contracts remain open to all competitors, the agency prioritizes small business inclusion without reliance on specialized socioeconomic programs like 8(a) or HUBZone, indicating a preference for broad-based competitive engagement among qualified small firms. The primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), with significant activity in 333618 (Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing), underscoring expertise in mechanical and marine systems procurement. Filler’s technical domain centers on vessel repair infrastructure, industrial crane systems, and marine auxiliary equipment, ensuring acquisitions align with the Navy’s long-term sustainment strategy for its sealift fleet.
