Katima A Wilson

Katima A. Wilson serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and promoting efficient, transparent procurement practices. Her portfolio primarily encompasses technical and professional services, with a focus on analytical instrumentation, training, and information technology infrastructure. Wilson routinely interfaces with program managers, technical evaluators, and legal counsel to align contracting actions with mission objectives and regulatory requirements. While specific contractor names are not available, Wilson’s procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with a diverse pool of vendors, including both large-capability firms and small businesses, particularly in high-technology and specialized service sectors. Her working relationships reflect a preference for competitive, open-market solicitations, with a strong emphasis on clear performance metrics and deliverables. She fosters collaborative vendor partnerships grounded in accountability, timely communication, and adherence to contractual obligations. Wilson demonstrates a notable commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 88.9% of her acquisitions conducted under open, non-set-aside conditions and 11.1% awarded as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced approach—prioritizing competition while strategically reserving opportunities for small businesses when market conditions support it. Her pattern suggests a preference for broad-based small business participation over narrow socioeconomic categories like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her primary NAICS focus areas include analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing (334516), professional and management development training (611430), air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment manufacturing (333415), computing infrastructure and data processing services (518210), and other information services (519190). This indicates deep expertise in procuring advanced scientific equipment, technical workforce development, and mission-critical IT infrastructure, positioning her as a specialist in science, technology, and operational support acquisitions.
