Tammy M. DeMille

Tammy M. DeMille serves as a Contract Specialist within the Director of Contracting office under the Department of the Navy, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain operational readiness across maritime and expeditionary forces. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts for specialized defense-enabling services and equipment, with a focus on secure computing systems, command-and-control hardware, audiovisual infrastructure, and leased specialized machinery. Her work directly supports the Navy’s strategic priorities in modernizing communications networks and ensuring resilient logistical support for deployed units, requiring deep familiarity with FAR and DFARS compliance, performance-based acquisition methods, and risk-mitigated contracting practices. While specific contractor names are not disclosed in available data, Ms. DeMille engages with a diverse pool of vendors including manufacturers of telecommunications and computer peripheral equipment, IT services firms, and equipment lessors. Her contracting patterns reflect collaboration with both large-tier defense contractors and niche technology providers capable of delivering secure, ruggedized, and mission-specific solutions under tight timelines and stringent security requirements. Ms. DeMille demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 36% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Her portfolio consistently prioritizes socioeconomic programs that enable small businesses to compete for Navy contracts, reflecting a deliberate effort to broaden vendor diversity and foster innovation through the small business base, without reliance on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB-specific set-asides. Her primary industry focus centers on NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers), reflecting substantial procurement of custom and commercial software solutions for defense communications, alongside 334210 (Telephone Apparatus Manufacturing) and 532420 (Office Machinery and Equipment Rental). She specializes in acquiring secure hardware, integrated AV systems, and leased technical equipment critical to command centers and mobile operational units, demonstrating expertise in both commercial and government-unique technology domains.
