Khilena Adhin

Khilena Adhin serves as a key procurement lead within the Office of Contracts at the U.S. Agency for Global Media, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain the agency’s global broadcasting infrastructure. Her work ensures the operational continuity of international transmission systems by securing critical nonresidential space and related support services essential to remote transmitting facilities. She oversees the full lifecycle of contracts—from requirements development to award and performance monitoring—focusing on facilities that house broadcast equipment, power systems, and personnel accommodations abroad. Her acquisitions directly enable the agency’s mission to deliver independent media to global audiences under challenging operational conditions. Adhin maintains a streamlined contracting approach with a limited but reliable pool of vendors specializing in commercial real estate leasing and facility management for government-operated overseas sites. While no specific contractors are currently identified in the award history, her procurement patterns suggest consistent engagement with experienced lessors of nonresidential properties, particularly those with expertise in secure, high-reliability infrastructure in remote or politically sensitive regions. Her working relationships are characterized by long-term stability, compliance rigor, and a focus on performance-based outcomes rather than transactional vendor engagement. Adhin’s contracting activity is exclusively classified under the “No Set-Aside” category, indicating a preference for open competition without socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This reflects a strategic prioritization of operational urgency and facility availability over socioeconomic targeting, aligning with the mission-critical nature of the infrastructure being procured. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, all awards remain fully compliant with federal acquisition regulations and competitive procedures. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—reflecting deep expertise in securing leased facilities that support high-power transmission systems, redundant power backups, and secure communications environments. She specializes in procuring space that meets stringent technical, security, and environmental standards for international broadcasting operations, demonstrating specialized knowledge in infrastructure requirements for global media delivery.
