Jillian Gambill

Jillian Gambill serves as a primary contracting professional within the Defense Logistics Agency’s Land and Maritime division, overseeing the acquisition of critical mechanical and fluid power components essential to naval, land, and expeditionary military systems. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts for industrial valves, sealing devices, power transmission equipment, and ordnance accessories, ensuring the operational readiness of defense platforms through reliable, high-performance parts. Her work directly supports DLA’s mission to sustain global logistics readiness by procuring mission-critical hardware from a vetted industrial base, with a focus on precision-engineered components used in combat vehicles, ships, and field-deployed systems. Gambill maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Triman Industries Inc., ECI Defense Group, Inc., ITL LLC, Kampi Components Co Inc, and ASRC Federal Facilities Logistics, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established suppliers with proven capabilities in manufacturing and delivering specialized mechanical and fluid power systems under stringent military specifications. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor reliability, technical compliance, and supply chain resilience, often leveraging indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and blanket purchase agreement (BPA) mechanisms to streamline recurring requirements. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong emphasis on open competition, with nearly 80% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. While small business participation is present, it is modestly targeted, with total small business set-asides accounting for approximately 17.8% and service-disabled veteran-owned small business set-asides at 2.4%. Women-owned small businesses represent a minimal share, indicating a procurement strategy prioritizing technical capability and supply chain continuity over socioeconomic preferences. Gambill’s primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 333996 (Fluid Power Pump and Motor Manufacturing) and 333914 (Measuring, Dispensing, and Other Pumping Equipment Manufacturing), underscoring deep expertise in hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid control systems. She routinely acquires industrial pumps, compressors, and power-driven handtools critical to maintenance and sustainment operations, demonstrating specialized knowledge in mechanical systems engineering and defense-grade manufacturing standards.
