Bonnie K Kilgore

Bonnie K. Kilgore serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports the agency’s mission by delivering high-value engineering and design services through transparent, competitive processes. Her acquisitions primarily involve complex professional services requiring technical expertise in civil infrastructure, architectural planning, and engineering design, often involving multi-disciplinary teams and performance-based outcomes. While specific contractor names are not available, Kilgore maintains a broad network of vendors specializing in heavy civil construction, architectural services, and engineering design disciplines. She engages with both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors, fostering collaborative relationships grounded in compliance, performance accountability, and timely delivery. Her procurement approach emphasizes fair and open competition, with a strong emphasis on clear statement of work development and risk mitigation in technical solicitations. Kilgore demonstrates a clear preference for small business participation, with nearly 29% of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. She consistently leverages small business set-aside authorities to promote economic opportunity, though the majority of her portfolio remains open to all competitors, reflecting a balanced approach to meeting mission needs while advancing socioeconomic goals. Her contracting patterns indicate a strategic alignment with federal small business objectives without reliance on specialized programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), 541310 (Architectural Services), and 541490 (Other Specialized Design Services), with additional activity in engineering and surveying services. She specializes in acquiring technical services for infrastructure planning, site development, and design-build delivery models, demonstrating deep familiarity with the technical and regulatory demands of public works and built environment projects.
