Tiffany MacGillivary

Tiffany MacGillivary serves as a key procurement specialist within DLA Land at Aberdeen, supporting the Defense Logistics Agency’s mission to sustain and modernize land-based defense platforms through the acquisition of mission-critical electronic and electro-mechanical systems. Though holding no formal title, her role as a secondary contact involves coordinating contract execution, evaluating technical requirements, and ensuring alignment with DLA’s strategic priorities in command, control, and communications infrastructure. She routinely handles acquisitions for signal processing components, avionics, radio and data transmission systems, and power control units essential to military operational readiness. MacGillivary maintains consistent working relationships with core contractors including Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Carson Industries, Inc., and Creating Technology Solutions, LLC. These partnerships are characterized by repeat engagements on complex, technically demanding procurements requiring specialized expertise in RF systems, wiring devices, and mission-critical electrical components. Her procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, technical compliance, and lifecycle support, fostering long-term collaboration with firms capable of meeting stringent military specifications. Her contracting activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside categories. This indicates a focus on technical capability and performance over socioeconomic designations, aligning with DLA’s priority of mission-critical delivery over programmatic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, she ensures all vendors meet rigorous qualification standards regardless of size. Her primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 334220 for radio and wireless communications equipment, complemented by equal emphasis on 335931 for current-carrying wiring devices and 335999 for miscellaneous electrical components. She specializes in procuring high-reliability systems used in tactical command networks, battlefield communications, and vehicle-mounted electronics, demonstrating deep technical fluency in military-grade signal integrity, EMI shielding, and ruggedized power distribution architectures.
