Jamillah Kinard

Jamillah Kinard serves as a primary contracting professional within the Defense Logistics Agency’s Energy component (SPE605), responsible for managing critical energy logistics acquisitions that sustain global military operational readiness. She oversees the procurement of specialized fuel supply infrastructure, propulsion-related components, and transportation services essential to DoD energy security. Her acquisitions are strategically aligned with DLA Energy’s mission to ensure uninterrupted fuel delivery across all service branches, focusing on high-reliability, mission-critical supply chain solutions under FAR and DFARS compliance frameworks. Her primary contractor relationships center on Qatar Fuel (WOQOD) and United Capital Investments Group, both of which provide essential petroleum logistics and energy distribution services. These partnerships reflect a reliance on established, global energy suppliers with proven capacity to deliver complex fuel handling and storage solutions under austere conditions. Kinard’s contracting patterns prioritize performance-based, long-term agreements with vendors capable of integrating into military logistics networks, emphasizing supply chain resilience and just-in-time delivery capabilities. Set-aside preferences are overwhelmingly dominated by open, unrestricted acquisitions, with 97.2% of contracts awarded without socioeconomic set-asides. Small business participation is minimal but intentional, with approximately 1.4% each allocated to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses and total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a focus on capability over socioeconomic preference unless explicitly mission-necessary. Her procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 332722 (Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing), reflecting a technical emphasis on mechanical fastening systems used in fuel infrastructure and propulsion unit assembly. Secondary focus areas include propulsion unit manufacturing (336415) and specialized long-haul trucking (484230), demonstrating expertise in defense-grade mechanical components and fuel transport logistics. Kinard’s work bridges industrial manufacturing and operational energy delivery, requiring deep technical understanding of military-grade hardware and supply chain integrity.
