Kim Burr

Kim Burr serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing complex acquisitions across industrial instrumentation, engineering services, and technical maintenance domains. While specific agency details are not disclosed, their role centers on executing full-cycle contracting processes in alignment with federal acquisition regulations, ensuring compliance, competition, and mission alignment. They routinely handle solicitations for precision measurement systems, industrial control instrumentation, and specialized engineering support, often coordinating with technical stakeholders to define performance requirements and evaluate vendor proposals under fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contract types. Contractor relationships are diverse, with engagement spanning large-capability firms and small businesses capable of delivering niche technical solutions. Though no single contractor dominates the portfolio, Kim consistently works with vendors possessing expertise in industrial process control systems, calibration services, and equipment repair for commercial and industrial machinery. The contracting approach emphasizes competitive bidding, technical merit evaluation, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in reliability and regulatory adherence. A strong preference for open competition is evident, with 72.4% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, reflecting a focus on maximizing market access and value. However, a significant 27.6% of acquisitions are structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small businesses without targeting specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This approach prioritizes size-based eligibility over socioeconomic designation, promoting broad-based small business participation. Primary procurement activity centers on NAICS 334513 for industrial measurement and control instruments, NAICS 541330 for engineering services, and NAICS 811219 for specialized repair and maintenance. These reflect deep technical expertise in process automation, instrumentation calibration, and industrial equipment lifecycle support, positioning Kim as a specialist in mission-critical technical acquisitions requiring precision, reliability, and regulatory compliance.
