Katie M Hudiburgh

Katie Michelle Hudiburgh serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing a diverse portfolio of acquisitions aligned with federal operational and training needs. Her role centers on executing full lifecycle contracting processes, from market research and solicitation development to award and contract administration, ensuring compliance with FAR and agency-specific regulations. She specializes in procurements supporting aviation training, communications infrastructure, and office equipment, often coordinating with technical stakeholders to define performance requirements and evaluate vendor proposals. Her work directly supports mission-critical capabilities across multiple domains, emphasizing efficiency, transparency, and regulatory adherence in all acquisition activities. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Hudiburgh’s procurement patterns indicate engagement with a broad spectrum of vendors, including both large primes and small businesses, particularly in technology and training services. Her contracting approach favors competitive solicitation methods, including sealed bids and negotiated procurements, with an emphasis on ensuring fair and open access for qualified offerors. She maintains a balanced vendor ecosystem that supports innovation while upholding accountability and performance standards. Hudiburgh demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly 28% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity and enhance competition among small businesses, though she does not routinely utilize specialized set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her contracting patterns prioritize broad small business eligibility, aligning with agency goals to increase outreach and participation across the socioeconomic spectrum. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 611512 (Flight Training), indicating deep engagement with aviation education and pilot certification services. Additional emphasis is placed on NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers), 334220 (Radio and Television Equipment Manufacturing), and 334118 (Computer Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing), underscoring expertise in communications systems, embedded technologies, and hardware procurement. She also regularly acquires office furniture under NAICS 337214, reflecting a holistic approach to supporting operational environments with both technical and logistical resources.
