Kimberly Horger

Kim Horger serves as a key procurement professional within the Defense Logistics Agency’s Troop Support organization, responsible for managing critical acquisitions that sustain military readiness and troop welfare. Specializing in the procurement of specialized apparel and protective gear, Horger ensures that U.S. forces are equipped with durable, mission-critical clothing systems designed for extreme operational environments. Their work directly supports the agency’s mandate to deliver reliable, high-performance logistical solutions, with a primary focus on cut-and-sew apparel contracts that meet stringent military specifications for durability, camouflage, and environmental resilience. Horger maintains consistent partnerships with a select group of experienced defense contractors, including WESTLAND TECHNOLOGIES, INC., ENGINEERED COIL COMPANY, ECI DEFENSE GROUP, INC., PIONEER INDUSTRIES, LLC, and AEROSPACE & COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC. These vendors are recognized for their expertise in military-grade textile manufacturing, modular garment systems, and integrated protective layering technologies. The working relationships are characterized by long-term collaboration, technical alignment with DoD standards, and a shared emphasis on quality assurance and rapid turnaround for field-deployable solutions. A strong commitment to small business participation defines Horger’s contracting approach, with 90% of acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate a robust supplier base of small, capable manufacturers capable of meeting exacting military apparel requirements. The consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a dedication to socioeconomic equity and workforce development within the defense industrial base. Horger’s procurement portfolio is exclusively focused on NAICS 315210 (Cut and Sew Apparel Contractors), indicating deep technical expertise in military uniform systems, including combat uniforms, cold-weather gear, flame-resistant apparel, and modular load-bearing clothing. Their domain knowledge encompasses fabric technologies, tactical tailoring, and compliance with MIL-SPEC standards, ensuring that all acquired items meet the operational demands of global deployments.
