Kanokwan Kooamphorn

Kanokwan Kooamphorn serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle for technical and industrial services, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and agency mission objectives. She leads the planning, solicitation, evaluation, and award of contracts for complex engineering and heavy-gauge metal manufacturing requirements, often coordinating with technical stakeholders to define performance specifications and risk mitigation strategies. Her role is central to delivering mission-critical capabilities through competitive, transparent, and compliant contracting practices, with a focus on delivering high-value, technically rigorous solutions within established federal acquisition frameworks. Kooamphorn maintains a broad contractor base, engaging with both large-tier primes and specialized small businesses across engineering and manufacturing sectors. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently fosters relationships with firms possessing proven technical expertise in civil, mechanical, and industrial engineering services, as well as those certified in heavy-gauge metal fabrication and pressure vessel manufacturing. Her approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, clear statement of work development, and rigorous source selection processes to ensure accountability and technical adequacy. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued without set-aside designations. This indicates a strategic focus on maximizing market competition and leveraging broad industry capabilities rather than targeting specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. Her approach prioritizes technical merit and cost-effectiveness over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with agency needs for high-performance deliverables. Kooamphorn’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), where she acquires civil, structural, and systems engineering support, and NAICS 332420 (Metal Tank [Heavy Gauge] Manufacturing), where she procures custom-fabricated pressure vessels, storage tanks, and industrial containment systems. Her domain expertise includes technical specifications for ASME-coded fabrication, weld quality assurance, and compliance with federal standards for safety-critical infrastructure. She is well-versed in evaluating technical proposals, conducting source selection evaluations, and managing contract modifications for complex industrial projects.
