Jillian Staskin

Jillian Staskin serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Philadelphia Division (NAVSWC PHIL), supporting the U.S. Navy’s mission to modernize and sustain surface ship systems. She manages complex acquisitions for advanced electronic, mechanical, and integrated shipboard systems critical to operational readiness, including navigation, guidance, propulsion, and industrial control infrastructure. Her work directly enables the development, testing, and life-cycle support of mission-critical naval platforms, ensuring compliance with defense acquisition regulations and technical specifications for naval engineering applications. Staskin maintains strategic relationships with leading defense and industrial contractors, including Fairbanks Morse, LLC, Leidos, Inc., Rolls-Royce Corporation, G.S.E. Dynamics, Inc., and Kampi Components Co Inc. These partnerships reflect a focus on high-reliability engineering solutions for naval environments, spanning propulsion systems, sensor integration, and specialized mechanical components. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical rigor, performance-based outcomes, and long-term sustainment capabilities, fostering collaborative vendor engagement to meet the Navy’s evolving operational demands. Her procurement patterns show a strong preference for open competition, with 73.3% of awards issued without set-aside designations, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic classifications. Nevertheless, she consistently allocates 26.7% of awards to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured commitment to small business participation without compromising mission-critical performance requirements. Staskin’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 334511, encompassing search, detection, navigation, and guidance systems—core to naval combat and platform control. She also procures specialized components under NAICS 332991 (bearings) and 335999 (miscellaneous electrical equipment), reflecting deep expertise in shipboard integration of precision mechanical and electronic systems. Her portfolio underscores a technical domain centered on naval systems engineering, with an emphasis on reliability, survivability, and interoperability across surface fleet platforms.
