Katie Hudiburgh

Katie Hudiburgh serves as a key procurement lead within the FA2543 460 Cons agency under the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize critical infrastructure across Air Force installations. Her work directly supports mission readiness by ensuring facilities are equipped with reliable commercial and institutional building systems, including plumbing, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and electrical installations. She handles a broad spectrum of construction-related contracts, from facility maintenance to specialized utility upgrades, aligning with the agency’s mandate to maintain operational infrastructure to the highest standards of safety and efficiency. While specific contractor names are not currently available, Hudiburgh’s procurement patterns reflect a consistent engagement with small business vendors, particularly those certified under socioeconomic programs. Her contracting approach emphasizes deep collaboration with qualified small businesses, fostering long-term partnerships that enhance innovation and local economic resilience. The absence of large prime contractor dominance suggests a deliberate strategy to distribute opportunities broadly across the small business ecosystem, encouraging competition and capacity building among niche service providers. Hudiburgh maintains a 100% small business set-aside preference across her portfolio, fully aligning with FAR 19.5 guidelines. This reflects a robust institutional commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with a clear emphasis on empowering small, disadvantaged, and community-based firms. Her awards consistently prioritize small business participation, reinforcing the Air Force’s broader goals of inclusive economic development and workforce diversification within the defense infrastructure sector. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 561790 (Other Services to Buildings and Dwellings), encompassing facility maintenance and support services, complemented by NAICS 562998 (Miscellaneous Waste Management Services) and NAICS 335311 (Power Transformer Manufacturing). This technical specialization underscores her expertise in integrated building systems, environmental compliance, and mission-critical electrical infrastructure, making her a pivotal figure in ensuring Air Force installations remain operationally resilient and sustainably managed.
