Kathleen W Burt

Kathleen W. Burt serves as a Purchasing & Supply Management Specialist, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement activities to support operational requirements within her organization. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while optimizing value, efficiency, and accountability in the acquisition of motor vehicle-related goods and services. Her role centers on sourcing, solicitation, evaluation, and contract administration for critical automotive and parts supply needs, aligning acquisitions with agency mission objectives and fiscal stewardship standards. While specific contractor names are not available, Burt maintains consistent relationships with authorized motor vehicle dealers and merchant wholesalers who specialize in new vehicle distribution and aftermarket automotive components. Her procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding, clear performance metrics, and vendor accountability, fostering transparent and reliable supply chain partnerships. She engages with vendors who demonstrate capacity for timely delivery, quality assurance, and adherence to federal contracting requirements. Burt’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open, non-set-aside acquisitions, with 100% of her awards issued under general competition. This indicates a focus on broad market access and value-driven procurement rather than socioeconomic set-asides, though she remains compliant with all applicable small business policies. Her approach prioritizes efficiency and market responsiveness over targeted socioeconomic programs, ensuring the widest possible pool of qualified suppliers can compete. Her primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 441110 (New Car Dealers), accounting for 75% of her activity, followed by 423110 (Automobile and Other Motor Vehicle Merchant Wholesalers) and 423690 (Other Electronic Parts and Equipment Merchant Wholesalers). She specializes in acquiring new vehicles, fleet maintenance supplies, and electronic automotive components, demonstrating deep expertise in automotive supply chains and vehicle lifecycle management. Her technical domain knowledge ensures procurement decisions align with operational readiness and fleet sustainability goals.
