Karley Hoyt

Karley Hoyt serves as a Contract Specialist within the Incident Support Section (ISS70) of the Federal Emergency Management Agency under the Department of Homeland Security, where she plays a pivotal role in enabling rapid, scalable disaster response through strategic procurement of mission-critical services. Her responsibilities include planning, soliciting, awarding, and administering contracts that sustain operational continuity during domestic emergencies, ensuring the timely delivery of life-sustaining resources and infrastructure support in austere environments. She primarily handles service-based acquisitions aligned with emergency management, public safety, and environmental response needs, utilizing full and open competition to meet urgent operational requirements. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable due to data limitations, Hoyt routinely engages with a diverse pool of vendors capable of delivering specialized emergency support services, including logistics, temporary accommodations, and environmental remediation providers. Her procurement approach emphasizes agility, compliance with federal acquisition regulations, and performance-based contracting to ensure accountability and mission readiness across dynamic operational scenarios. Hoyt’s contracting portfolio reflects a 100% preference for full and open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This reflects a mission-driven prioritization of speed and capability over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the urgency of disaster response timelines and the need for immediate access to qualified, scalable service providers. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 519130 (Other Information Services), 721199 (All Other Traveler Accommodation), and 562211 (Hazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal), indicating deep specialization in emergency communications, temporary shelter operations, and environmental hazard mitigation. These domains underscore her technical expertise in procuring services critical to survivor support, infrastructure resilience, and public health protection during large-scale incidents.
