Jill Livingston

Jill Livingston serves as a key procurement professional within the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center’s FA8517 PZAAC office, responsible for managing complex acquisitions of mission-critical aerospace components for Air Force aircraft systems. Her work directly supports operational readiness by securing precision-engineered parts including ejection seat mechanisms, flight control actuators, and advanced electrical instrumentation. She specializes in high-integrity electronic assemblies requiring stringent military specifications, ensuring compliance with DO-160, MIL-STD-810, and other aerospace standards. Her acquisitions are strategically aligned with the agency’s modernization priorities, focusing on sustainment of legacy platforms and integration of next-generation avionics. Livingston maintains a consistent and long-term contracting relationship with BAE SYSTEMS INFORMATION AND ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS INTEGRATION INC., a prime contractor with deep expertise in defense-grade electronic assembly and systems integration. Her procurement approach emphasizes trusted vendor partnerships with established defense industrial base suppliers capable of meeting rigorous quality assurance, traceability, and configuration control requirements. These relationships are built on technical reliability, on-time delivery, and adherence to military supply chain security protocols. Her contracting portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside strategy, indicating a focus on mission-critical capabilities where sole-source or limited competition is required due to technical specificity, proprietary designs, or national security constraints. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through socioeconomic set-asides, her acquisitions still engage qualified small firms as subcontractors within prime contractor teams, ensuring supply chain resilience without compromising technical performance. Livingston’s primary procurement focus is on NAICS 334418—Printed Circuit Assembly (Electronic Assembly) Manufacturing—where she secures high-reliability printed circuit boards, hybrid microcircuits, and fully assembled electronic modules used in cockpit instrumentation and life-support systems. Her technical domain expertise spans avionics integration, electromagnetic compatibility, and ruggedized electronics for extreme environmental conditions, making her a critical link in sustaining the Air Force’s combat-coded aircraft fleets.
