Jillian Marconi

Jillian Marconi serves as a key procurement professional within Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA HQ), where she supports the acquisition and lifecycle management of mission-critical naval vessels and advanced maritime systems. She plays a central role in executing complex contract actions aligned with NAVSEA’s mandate to sustain fleet readiness and enable next-generation warship platforms. Her portfolio primarily encompasses shipbuilding and repair contracts under NAICS 336611, overseeing the integration of structural, propulsion, and combat system components for surface and undersea platforms. Her work ensures that naval assets meet rigorous technical specifications and operational requirements throughout their service life. Marconi maintains strategic relationships with industry leaders including Huntington Ingalls Incorporated, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, Damen Shipbuilding & Cooperation B.V., G.S.E. Dynamics, Inc., and Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on large-scale, high-complexity shipbuilding and systems integration contracts requiring deep technical expertise and proven industrial capacity. Her contracting patterns emphasize long-term vendor collaboration, performance-based outcomes, and rigorous oversight of major defense contractors capable of delivering integrated naval platforms under stringent naval standards. Marconi’s procurement activities show a consistent preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued without set-asides for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. This reflects NAVSEA’s operational imperative to prioritize technical capability and industrial readiness over socioeconomic preferences, particularly for mission-critical shipbuilding programs requiring specialized infrastructure and defense-grade supply chains. Her domain expertise centers exclusively on NAICS 336611—Ship Building and Repairing—where she procures everything from hull fabrication and propulsion systems to combat electronics integration and naval architecture services. She operates at the intersection of naval engineering and acquisition policy, ensuring that contracted solutions meet Navy warfighting requirements with precision, reliability, and long-term maintainability.
