Katrina Gawlik

Katrina Gawlik serves as a Contract Specialist within the 0414 AQ HQ Contract Augmented unit of the Department of the Army, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to sustain garrison infrastructure and operational readiness. Her portfolio centers on procuring facility services, environmental remediation, transportation support, and specialized engineering solutions that ensure the functionality and resilience of Army installations. Gawlik manages full lifecycle contracting actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and contract administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and Army-specific operational requirements. She is instrumental in aligning procurement outcomes with strategic priorities such as infrastructure modernization, waste management, and garrison sustainment. Gawlik maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of international contractors, including LINEA VERDE S.R.L., FIORINI IMPIANTI GROUP SRL, and NUOVA ELETTRICA S.R.L., who provide specialized services in motor and generator manufacturing, nonhazardous waste treatment, septic system maintenance, and transit operations. These partnerships reflect a preference for technically proficient vendors with proven capabilities in delivering complex, mission-aligned solutions under stringent military standards. Her approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, clear deliverables, and rigorous oversight to ensure contractor accountability and mission success. Gawlik’s contracting activity is entirely classified under “No Set-Aside,” indicating a focus on full and open competition without socioeconomic preferences such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides. This reflects a strategic emphasis on selecting the most qualified vendors based on technical merit and operational suitability rather than socioeconomic criteria, consistent with the high-stakes, mission-critical nature of her acquisitions. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 562219 (nonhazardous waste disposal), 335312 (motor and generator manufacturing), 562991 (septic tank services), 485999 (transit and ground passenger transportation), and 541930 (translation and interpretation services). This diverse technical portfolio underscores her expertise in managing acquisitions that support both environmental compliance and the linguistic and logistical needs of deployed and garrisoned forces.
