Kim A. Shaw

Kim A. Shaw serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Air Force at FA6656 910 AW LGC Yngstn Wrn Arpt, where she plays a pivotal role in executing acquisition strategies to sustain and modernize critical airfield infrastructure. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of construction contracts, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations, and aligning acquisitions with operational readiness objectives. She specializes in commercial and institutional building construction projects, overseeing the procurement of services related to airfield surface restoration, utility system upgrades, and protective infrastructure development. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to maintain safe, resilient, and mission-capable aviation facilities. Shaw maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Cardinal Environmental Laboratories LLC and Charter Communications Operating LLC, reflecting a focus on specialized environmental compliance services and integrated communications infrastructure. These partnerships are typically formed through competitive sealed bidding and performance-based contract structures, emphasizing technical proficiency, regulatory adherence, and timely delivery. Her procurement approach prioritizes vendor reliability and proven performance in complex military environment settings. Shaw’s contracting activity is exclusively non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on maximizing technical capability and operational urgency over socioeconomic preferences, though she remains compliant with all federal small business participation requirements. Her portfolio does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead focusing on selecting the most qualified offerors regardless of business size or certification. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 236220 — Commercial and Institutional Building Construction — encompassing airfield pavement rehabilitation, drainage system upgrades, lighting and signage installation, and related civil works. She possesses deep technical expertise in military construction standards, FAA and DoD engineering specifications, and environmental mitigation requirements, ensuring all acquisitions meet stringent safety and operational benchmarks for active airfield environments.
