Javier B. Gil

Javier B. Gil serves as Procurement Supervisor at the Naval Medical Research Unit South (N44852), where he oversees the acquisition of critical scientific and technical services essential to advancing military medical readiness. His role involves managing the full lifecycle of procurements for research, diagnostic, and field-deployable medical solutions aligned with the agency’s mission to combat tropical and vector-borne diseases. Gil specializes in complex scientific contracts, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while supporting rapid deployment of laboratory diagnostics, entomological surveillance tools, and biothreat detection systems for expeditionary forces. Gil maintains strategic relationships with a diverse pool of vendors, including specialized testing laboratories, analytical instrument manufacturers, and R&D firms focused on life sciences. He consistently engages with both large-capability contractors and small businesses capable of delivering high-precision, mission-critical solutions under tight operational timelines. His procurement approach emphasizes technical rigor, performance-based outcomes, and vendor accountability, fostering long-term partnerships with firms that demonstrate expertise in infectious disease research and field-adaptable diagnostics. His set-aside preferences reflect a strong emphasis on open competition, with approximately 70% of acquisitions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides. However, he actively supports small business participation, with 27.5% of awards allocated to 8(a) competitors and 2.5% to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced commitment to both efficiency and socioeconomic goals. Gil’s procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 541380 (Testing Laboratories and Services) and 541712 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences), with significant activity in analytical instrument manufacturing (334516) and in-vitro diagnostic substance production (325413). He routinely procures specialized equipment and services for vector surveillance, molecular diagnostics, and field-deployable lab systems, underscoring his deep technical expertise in military biomedical research procurement.
