Kathleen Kasper

Kathleen Kasper serves as a Program Manager responsible for overseeing the acquisition lifecycle of sporting and athletic goods within her organization. In this role, she ensures procurement activities align with mission-critical operational needs, managing full-spectrum contract actions from market research and requirements definition to award and performance monitoring. Her work directly supports the delivery of high-performance equipment and gear essential to physical training, safety, and recreational programs. Kasper specializes in non-personal services and product procurement under fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contract types, with a focus on technical compliance, quality assurance, and delivery timelines for standardized athletic equipment. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Kasper’s procurement activity consistently engages manufacturers and distributors with proven capabilities in athletic goods production. She works with a broad base of suppliers, including those with expertise in materials engineering, performance textiles, and protective gear design. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with demonstrated quality control systems and compliance with federal specifications such as MIL-SPEC or ASTM standards, fostering reliable, repeat partnerships grounded in performance history. Kasper’s contracting portfolio is entirely classified as “No Set-Aside,” indicating a strategic focus on open competition without socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB preferences. This reflects an acquisition approach prioritizing technical capability, price competitiveness, and supply chain reliability over socioeconomic targeting, though it does not preclude small business participation through unrestricted opportunities. Her primary procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 339920—Sporting and Athletic Goods Manufacturing—encompassing the acquisition of equipment such as protective padding, athletic footwear, training apparatus, and team gear. She possesses deep domain expertise in evaluating product specifications, durability standards, and compliance with industry safety benchmarks, ensuring that all procured items meet the rigorous demands of institutional use in physical readiness and recreational programs.
