Jillian M. Savage

Jillian M. Savage serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements determination to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and promoting efficient, transparent procurement practices. Her portfolio primarily centers on construction and professional engineering services, with a strong emphasis on commercial and institutional building projects. She works closely with program managers, technical evaluators, and legal advisors to align contracting actions with mission objectives, ensuring that procurements are competitively sourced, properly documented, and executed in accordance with statutory requirements. While specific contractor names are not available, her procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with firms specializing in building construction, engineering, and architectural services. She maintains a vendor ecosystem composed largely of general contractors, design-build firms, and specialty trade contractors, fostering relationships grounded in performance-based outcomes and contractual accountability. Her approach emphasizes fair competition and clear solicitation language to encourage broad participation from qualified vendors across the industry. Jillian demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 85.5% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides. However, she actively supports small business participation, consistently awarding contracts under Total Small Business Set-Asides (FAR 19.5) at 10.9%, with additional opportunities allocated to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses and 8(a) firms. Her socioeconomic contracting strategy reflects a balanced commitment to both competition and inclusion, aligning with federal goals to expand access for disadvantaged businesses. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), which accounts for over 70% of her portfolio, followed by engineering services (541330) and architectural design (541310). She regularly procures integrated construction services, including structural systems, MEP coordination, and facility modernization, demonstrating deep familiarity with construction delivery methods such as design-bid-build and design-build. Her expertise ensures that acquisitions meet rigorous technical, safety, and sustainability standards.
