Katherine Vultaggio

Katherine L. Vultaggio serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. Her role is central to ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while supporting mission-critical capabilities across defense and public safety domains. She routinely handles complex procurements involving specialized technical services and high-integrity manufacturing, with a focus on delivering timely, legally sound outcomes that align with national security and operational readiness objectives. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the dataset, Vultaggio engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including prime contractors and subcontractors capable of meeting stringent performance, quality, and security standards. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industry partners with proven track records in defense-related manufacturing and technical services, fostering collaborative, performance-based vendor relationships grounded in transparency and accountability. Vultaggio’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on maximizing competition and selecting the most technically qualified offerors, regardless of socioeconomic status. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her approach ensures equitable access for all eligible firms through robust market research and transparent evaluation criteria. Her primary procurement focus lies in five key NAICS categories: 332994 (Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing), 541330 (Engineering Services), 541380 (Testing Laboratories and Services), 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing), and 336992 (Military Armored Vehicle, Tank, and Tank Component Manufacturing).
