Conrad Kimble

Conrad Kimble serves as a key procurement lead within the FA2835 AFLCMC Hanscom PZI, supporting the Department of the Air Force’s mission to sustain and modernize critical military infrastructure. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on facility resilience, utility system upgrades, and integrated base support services, ensuring operational readiness across Air Force installations. His work centers on specialty trade contracting, electronics manufacturing, and specialized maintenance services, with a strong emphasis on mission-critical infrastructure modernization and energy-efficient building systems. Kimble’s contracting activities directly enable airpower deployment by securing reliable communications, power, and environmental control systems essential to base functionality. Kimble maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including Split Excavating, Inc., Gannon & Scott Phoenix Inc., and Progexa Corp., which provide specialized construction, facility systems integration, and technical support services. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established small business vendors with proven expertise in niche trades, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in performance reliability and compliance with federal construction and maintenance standards. These relationships are strategically cultivated to ensure rapid response capabilities and technical alignment with Air Force infrastructure priorities. A defining feature of Kimble’s contracting approach is his strong commitment to small business participation, with 83.3% of his awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize socioeconomic opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and veteran-owned firms, aligning with Department of the Air Force mandates to promote equitable access to defense contracting. His pattern of set-aside usage demonstrates a consistent preference for small business eligibility over open competitions, reinforcing broader DoD goals for inclusive economic growth. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors), encompassing site preparation, utility installation, and facility retrofitting, complemented by significant activity in NAICS 334111 (Electronic Computer Manufacturing) for secure communications hardware and NAICS 811114 (Specialized Automotive Repair) for mission-support vehicle maintenance. This technical profile underscores his expertise in managing complex, multi-disciplinary infrastructure projects requiring precision engineering and compliance with military environmental and security standards.
