Katherine L Kudrewicz

Katherine L. Kudrewicz serves as a Contracting Officer at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, where she manages the acquisition of mission-critical services supporting the modernization of intellectual property systems. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing the USPTO’s strategic goals of digital transformation, data security, and public access to patent and trademark resources. Her portfolio primarily includes professional services, facility management, and operational support contracts, with a focus on delivering scalable, secure, and user-centric solutions to sustain the agency’s technological infrastructure. Kudrewicz maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of vendors, most notably IP.COM I, LLC and Innovative Transducer Implementation, LLC, both of which provide specialized consulting and technical services aligned with the USPTO’s innovation priorities. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and long-term vendor collaboration, fostering partnerships that support sustained system enhancements and operational continuity. While her contractor base is relatively concentrated, she ensures rigorous competition and adherence to FAR standards across all acquisitions. Her set-aside preferences reflect a balanced commitment to socioeconomic objectives, with approximately one-third of her awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of her contracts are open to all competitors, she actively leverages small business capabilities to meet agency needs, demonstrating a deliberate effort to expand participation from qualified small businesses without compromising mission requirements. Kudrewicz’s primary NAICS focus areas include 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), 541618 and 541611 (Management Consulting Services), and 722320 (Caterers), indicating a diverse procurement portfolio spanning facility operations, administrative support, and strategic advisory services. Her expertise lies in acquiring non-technical, mission-enabling services that underpin the USPTO’s operational resilience and service delivery, ensuring that the agency’s physical and administrative environments support its core intellectual property mission.
