Kathleen A Bartlett

Kathleen A. Bartlett serves as a Contracting Officer within the FA4608 2 Cons Lgc under the Department of the Air Force, where she manages a diverse portfolio of facility support and infrastructure-related acquisitions critical to operational readiness. Her responsibilities include soliciting, awarding, and administering contracts for maintenance, security, communications, and ancillary services across Air Force installations, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical infrastructure standards. She routinely handles task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts supporting environmental services, training systems, and lodging operations, aligning procurement outcomes with the agency’s mandate to sustain resilient, secure, and mission-ready environments. Bartlett maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including UNITED POOL MAINTENANCE LLC, WHITEDS ENVIRONMENTAL, INC., CALEB CRUCIAN, HALLIDAY TECHNOLOGIES INC, and ARABIC INTERPRETERS LLC. These partnerships reflect a blend of specialized service providers delivering facility maintenance, environmental remediation, technical training, and language support services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and long-term vendor reliability, fostering collaborative relationships with firms capable of meeting the unique operational demands of military installations. A strong advocate for socioeconomic diversity, Bartlett consistently prioritizes small business participation, with approximately two-thirds of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and one-third awarded through 8(a) competed programs. This pattern demonstrates a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for disadvantaged businesses while ensuring competitive rigor and mission effectiveness. Her procurement focus centers on three primary NAICS categories: 562111 (Solid Waste Collection), 611420 (Computer Training), and 721110 (Hotels and Motels). These reflect a unique blend of environmental sustainability, workforce development, and quality-of-life support services essential to sustaining Air Force communities. Her expertise lies in integrating these disparate service domains into cohesive, mission-enabling contracts that enhance both operational capability and installation resilience.
