Jillian A. Eder

Jillian Eder serves as the primary procurement lead for Navsup Weapon Systems Support, where she manages the acquisition of mission-critical components essential to the sustainment and modernization of U.S. Navy aviation and weapon systems. Her role centers on ensuring operational readiness through the timely procurement of specialized avionics, aircraft engine parts, auxiliary equipment, and mission-critical electronics. She oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation to award and administration—ensuring alignment with Department of the Navy strategic priorities for legacy platform support and next-generation capability integration. Her acquisitions directly enable maintenance, repair, and upgrade activities across naval aircraft and weapon systems. Jillian Eder collaborates with a diverse base of industrial suppliers, including Tier 1 aerospace manufacturers and niche engineering firms specializing in precision-machined components and electronic subsystems. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with manufacturers possessing ITAR compliance, AS9100 certification, and deep expertise in military-grade electronics and propulsion systems. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven track records in defense supply chain reliability, often leveraging blanket purchase agreements and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts to maintain responsive logistics support. Eder’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical capability and supply chain resilience over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing performance, quality assurance, and mission-critical delivery timelines. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, she evaluates all vendors based on technical merit, past performance, and ability to meet stringent military specifications. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment), 334511 (aeronautical systems and instruments), 336412 (aircraft engines), and 332919 (metal valve and pipe fittings), with additional activity in bare printed circuit board manufacturing. She specializes in sourcing high-reliability components for avionics, power generation, and flight control systems, demonstrating deep technical fluency in MIL-STD compliance, obsolescence management, and reverse engineering of legacy systems.
