Jill J Larsen

Jill J. Larsen serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex acquisitions across aerospace, communications, and engineering domains. She plays a critical role in executing the agency’s procurement mission by ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while delivering mission-critical capabilities. Her portfolio primarily encompasses contracts for aircraft components, wireless communications equipment, and engineering services, requiring deep technical understanding and rigorous source selection processes. Larsen routinely handles competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements under FAR Part 15, with a strong emphasis on performance-based contracting and risk mitigation strategies. While specific contractor names are not available, Larsen maintains a broad network of prime contractors and subcontractors active in defense and aerospace manufacturing, as well as specialized engineering firms. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established industry players with proven technical capabilities, particularly those capable of supporting complex integration and systems-level requirements. Vendor relationships are typically long-term and performance-driven, with an emphasis on quality assurance, supply chain resilience, and contract closeout discipline. Larsen’s set-aside preferences are overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with only 2.8% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This indicates a procurement strategy focused on open competition, where small business participation is encouraged through subcontracting opportunities rather than reserved awards. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her contracting approach remains compliant with all socioeconomic requirements and supports small business engagement through prime-subcontractor pairings. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 336413 for other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment, 811219 for miscellaneous repair and maintenance services, and 541330 for engineering services. She frequently procures specialized avionics, radio and communications hardware, and motor and generator systems, demonstrating expertise in aerospace systems integration, electromagnetic compatibility, and technical specification development. Larsen’s domain knowledge centers on defense and aviation technology lifecycle management, ensuring acquisitions align with operational readiness and regulatory compliance standards.
