Tracey Dillard

Tracey L. Dillard serves as a Purchasing Agent at the Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk (NAVSUP FLC Norfolk), where she plays a pivotal role in securing mission-critical engineering, logistics, and maintenance services essential to U.S. Navy fleet sustainment. Responsible for executing full-cycle procurement actions under FAR and NAVAIR guidelines, she manages acquisitions for specialized sheet metal fabrication, structural metal components, and naval platform repair services. Her work directly supports operational readiness by ensuring timely delivery of technical solutions that maintain maritime superiority through reliable infrastructure and advanced maintenance capabilities. Dillard maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of prime contractors, including Obsidian Global, LLC, Deloitte & Touche LLP, and Computational Physics Inc., reflecting a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in defense logistics and technical engineering support. Her procurement patterns indicate a reliance on firms capable of delivering complex, standards-compliant industrial and analytical services, often requiring security clearances and specialized naval system knowledge. She collaborates closely with these partners to ensure compliance with technical specifications and delivery timelines critical to fleet maintenance cycles. While the majority of her acquisitions are open to full and open competition (78.3%), she actively supports small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides (21.7%), aligning with the Department of the Navy’s socioeconomic goals. Though no specific 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides are dominant, her contracting behavior reflects a measured commitment to expanding opportunities for qualified small businesses within the defense industrial base. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 332322 (Sheet Metal Work Manufacturing), with significant activity in fabricated structural metal components (332312) and ship repair (336611). She routinely procures custom-engineered metal assemblies, precision fabrication services, and technical support for naval vessel sustainment, demonstrating deep domain expertise in naval industrial supply chains and defense manufacturing standards.
