Katie Champion

Katie Champion serves as the primary contracting lead within the Special Contracting Branch A and B of the General Services Administration’s Federal Acquisition Service, where she manages critical acquisitions to sustain overseas and contingency logistics operations. Her role centers on securing specialized warehousing, storage, and industrial support services essential to federal operational readiness across defense and civilian missions. Champion oversees the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation to award and contract administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while prioritizing supply chain resilience and mission-critical delivery timelines. She maintains long-standing relationships with a focused group of contractors, including Communication Logic LLC, LC Industries Inc., and FSR Consulting LLC, all of which provide specialized logistics and industrial support services. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capability in high-tempo, expeditionary environments. Champion’s contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work definitions, and rigorous contractor accountability to ensure seamless execution in austere or remote operational settings. Champion’s portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside contracting pattern, with no use of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This reflects the agency’s operational imperative to prioritize technical capability, rapid scalability, and mission-critical reliability over socioeconomic preferences, particularly when supporting time-sensitive contingency operations where vendor capacity and proven performance are paramount. Her procurement focus is exclusively on NAICS 493190—Other Warehousing and Storage—encompassing contract warehousing, inventory management, reverse logistics, and specialized storage for defense and civilian agency requirements. She procures services involving temperature-controlled storage, hazardous material handling, automated distribution systems, and global supply chain coordination, demonstrating deep expertise in industrial logistics and expeditionary supply chain operations.
