Hyesuk Konecne

Hyesuk Konecne serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration. Within the procurement ecosystem, she ensures compliance with federal regulations under the FAR and promotes efficient, transparent contracting practices. Her portfolio primarily centers on procurement actions involving lawn and garden equipment manufacturing and landscaping services, requiring deep familiarity with technical specifications, performance standards, and delivery logistics. She plays a critical role in aligning agency needs with market capabilities while maintaining rigorous oversight of contract performance and compliance. Konecne cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse range of vendors, particularly small businesses that specialize in the production and maintenance of residential and commercial landscaping equipment and services. While specific contractor names are not disclosed in available records, her procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with manufacturers of garden tractors, mowers, and related machinery, as well as service providers offering groundskeeping, turf management, and landscape installation. Her working relationships emphasize responsiveness, quality assurance, and adherence to performance-based requirements. A defining feature of Konecne’s contracting approach is her exclusive use of Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a steadfast commitment to fostering economic opportunity for small businesses. She does not utilize other socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, instead channeling all eligible opportunities to small businesses broadly, ensuring equitable access and promoting competition among qualified firms without additional socioeconomic filters. Her primary industry focus lies in NAICS 333112 for lawn and garden equipment manufacturing and NAICS 561730 for landscaping services, each accounting for half of her acquisition activity. This dual specialization requires technical knowledge of mechanical systems, durability standards, and outdoor maintenance protocols. She routinely procures durable goods and contract services essential to maintaining public and institutional grounds, demonstrating expertise in both product procurement and performance-based service contracting within the grounds management domain.
