Jillian Marconi

Jillian Marconi serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement analysis and market research through solicitation, award, and contract administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports the agency’s mission by delivering reliable telecommunications and information technology solutions. Her portfolio primarily encompasses complex procurements for hardware, software, and integrated communication systems, often involving technical specifications requiring close coordination with engineering and program stakeholders. Marconi maintains a balanced procurement approach, engaging both large prime contractors and small businesses to meet operational needs. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently collaborates with vendors capable of delivering compliant, interoperable technology solutions in the telecommunications and computing sectors. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for competitive, open solicitations, with a strong emphasis on performance-based outcomes and clear deliverables. A significant portion of her acquisitions—24.5%—are set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a clear commitment to socioeconomic goals. Though no specific set-aside programs like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB are predominant, her consistent use of Total Small Business Set-Asides signals active support for small business participation across diverse industries. She prioritizes fair competition and ensures small businesses have meaningful access to procurement opportunities. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334210 (Telephone Apparatus Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in voice and data communication hardware. She also frequently acquires products under NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers) and 334118 (Computer Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing), indicating strong technical familiarity with telecommunications infrastructure, endpoint devices, and integrated computing systems. Her domain expertise centers on procuring mission-critical communication technologies that support operational readiness and interoperability.
