Kathleen A Reilly

Kathleen A. Reilly serves as a Base Contracting Officer at W7NR Uspfo Activity Nyang 109 under the Department of the Army, where she leads the acquisition and contract management of mission-critical infrastructure and aviation support systems essential to expeditionary airfield operations. Her portfolio encompasses construction, facility modernization, and specialized equipment procurement to sustain operational readiness at remote and austere locations. Reilly ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contracting actions with the agency’s strategic priorities in airfield resilience, aircraft support systems, and mission-critical logistics. She manages full lifecycle procurements—from market research and solicitation to award and contract administration—ensuring timely delivery of capabilities that directly enable military aviation readiness. Reilly cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of vendors, primarily engaged in support services, maintenance, and specialized manufacturing. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms capable of delivering complex, time-sensitive solutions under dynamic operational conditions. Her working relationships emphasize technical proficiency, past performance, and reliability in high-stakes environments, fostering partnerships with both large prime contractors and niche specialists capable of rapid deployment and field support. Reilly demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 20% of her acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for small businesses. Although the majority of her awards are unrestricted, she actively promotes participation from small disadvantaged businesses, HUBZone firms, and other qualified socioeconomic categories, ensuring alignment with Department of Defense mandates for broad-based vendor inclusion. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561990 (All Other Support Services), where she acquires mission support functions including logistics coordination, facility maintenance, and expeditionary services. She also regularly procures specialized apparel and equipment under NAICS 315990 and industrial machinery repair under NAICS 811310, reflecting a technical domain expertise in sustainment operations for aviation and remote infrastructure systems.
