Tiffany M. Kilburn

Tiffany M. Kilburn serves as a Contract Specialist within the U.S. Transportation Command (USTransCom), where she plays a pivotal role in executing the agency’s global mobility mission through the acquisition of critical transportation and logistics support services. She manages full-cycle procurement activities for complex, mission-critical contracts spanning air, sea, and land mobility operations, with a focus on expeditionary logistics, port and terminal support, and rapid deployment capabilities. Her acquisitions ensure the seamless movement of personnel and equipment across all domains, directly enabling theater access and sustainment for Department of Defense operations worldwide. Kilburn maintains established relationships with key contractors including UNCOMN LLC, PHOENIX AIR GROUP, INC., RAMPART AVIATION, LLC, FANCIULLI EGISTO S.R.L., and MOUNTAIN AVIATION, LLC, all of which provide specialized transportation and cargo handling services. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and operational reliability, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors capable of delivering high-tempo, global support under dynamic conditions. These relationships are characterized by consistent recompetition and performance-driven contract renewals, reflecting a preference for proven capability over market novelty. Her contracting portfolio reflects a strong orientation toward unrestricted competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This underscores a mission-first procurement strategy prioritizing operational readiness and global scalability over socioeconomic preferences, though small business participation remains possible through open competition and subcontracting opportunities. Kilburn’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 488320 (Marine Cargo Handling), which accounts for nearly 90% of her activity, supplemented by NAICS 488999 (Other Transportation Support Activities) and NAICS 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair). She specializes in acquiring port operations support, terminal logistics services, aircraft ramp handling, and heavy equipment maintenance—domains requiring deep technical expertise in military logistics and international supply chain operations.
