Heather Kitay

Heather Kitay serves as a Contract Specialist within the W7N7 USPFO Activity WVANG 130, a Department of the Army organization responsible for sustaining and modernizing critical military infrastructure. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for construction support, facility maintenance, and operational asset modernization, ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and mission-driven requirements. Her acquisitions typically involve specialized industrial equipment and technical components essential to maintaining mission-ready installations, including utilities, security systems, and training facility enhancements. Kitay plays a pivotal role in translating operational needs into executable contract strategies that align with Army infrastructure resilience goals. While specific contractor names are not available, Kitay engages with a diverse vendor base specializing in industrial manufacturing and technical systems. Her contracting patterns reflect collaboration with both large-capacity manufacturers and small businesses capable of delivering precision-engineered components under tight military specifications. She maintains a structured, compliance-driven approach to vendor evaluation, emphasizing technical capability, past performance, and delivery reliability to support time-sensitive infrastructure projects across multiple installations. Kitay demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately one-third of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of her portfolio remains open to all competitors, her consistent use of small business set-asides signals a deliberate effort to expand economic opportunity and enhance supply chain diversity. Her socioeconomic contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach—favoring broad competition while actively enabling qualified small businesses to compete for mission-critical requirements. Her primary procurement focus lies in three NAICS categories: 332439 (Other Metal Container Manufacturing), 333912 (Air and Gas Compressor Manufacturing), and 335999 (All Other Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment and Component Manufacturing). These reflect a technical domain centered on durable, mission-critical hardware—ranging from specialized storage and ventilation systems to custom electrical components used in military facility operations. Kitay’s expertise lies in sourcing robust, field-deployable equipment that meets stringent DoD performance and durability standards.
