Jim Kinslow

Jim Kinslow serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition through contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while advancing mission-critical procurement objectives. His portfolio primarily encompasses service-based contracts in education, facility management, and technical support domains, with a focus on delivering cost-effective, high-quality solutions aligned with federal operational needs. Kinslow routinely handles competitive solicitations under FAR Part 15, including requests for proposals and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts, emphasizing transparency and fair competition. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable, Kinslow maintains a balanced procurement approach that engages both large service providers and small business vendors. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for open competition, with a significant portion of awards directed toward small business participants. He fosters collaborative vendor relationships grounded in performance-based contracting principles, ensuring accountability and quality delivery across awarded tasks. Kinslow demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 33.3% of his awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. He consistently prioritizes small business participation without reliance on specialized set-aside programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, indicating a broad-based approach to fostering small business opportunity. His procurement strategy supports the government’s goal of expanding economic inclusion through accessible competition. His primary NAICS focus areas include Other Technical and Trade Schools (611519), Architectural Services (541310), Computer Facilities Management Services (541513), and Lessors of Residential Buildings and Dwellings (531110). This reflects expertise in procuring workforce training services, facility infrastructure support, IT operations, and real estate leasing solutions. Kinslow’s technical domain knowledge spans education services, facility management, and information technology infrastructure, positioning him as a specialized practitioner in non-traditional service acquisition.
