Frank K Killian

Frank K. Killian serves as a key procurement professional responsible for managing complex construction and engineering acquisitions within a federal entity focused on infrastructure and natural resource management. He oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions, from solicitation through award and administration, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations. His portfolio centers on large-scale civil engineering projects and land-based resource operations, aligning with the agency’s mission to maintain and enhance critical public infrastructure. Killian routinely handles sealed bidding and negotiated procurements under FAR Part 14 and Part 15, prioritizing technical merit, cost realism, and performance-based outcomes. While no specific contractor relationships are identifiable in current data, Killian’s procurement patterns suggest consistent engagement with prime contractors specializing in heavy civil construction, including firms experienced in earthwork, drainage, and structural foundations. He maintains a preference for experienced vendors capable of executing multi-year, high-complexity projects under performance-based service contracts, often requiring specialized engineering oversight and environmental compliance expertise. Killian’s contracting approach reflects a strong emphasis on open competition, with 91.5% of awards issued as unrestricted actions. Nevertheless, he actively supports small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but consistent commitment to socioeconomic goals. Though no other set-aside categories are prominent, his use of small business set-asides indicates a deliberate effort to foster opportunities for qualified small contractors in technical construction fields. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), reflecting deep expertise in infrastructure projects such as roads, bridges, and water control systems. Secondary activity in NAICS 113110 (Timber Tract Operations) and 541330 (Engineering Services) underscores his involvement in land management and technical consulting contracts. Killian’s domain expertise spans civil engineering design, environmental mitigation, and construction management, making him a strategic contact for vendors specializing in public works and natural resource infrastructure.
