Kim Jarrett

Kim Jarrett serves as a key procurement lead within the FA8601 Aflcmc Pzio unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for acquiring high-precision instrumentation and mission-critical technical systems that sustain airpower readiness. Her work centers on the procurement of laboratory-grade analytical equipment, industrial measurement systems, and electrotherapeutic devices essential for flight testing, fuel analysis, and environmental monitoring. She manages complex acquisitions under FAR Part 15, ensuring technical compliance and operational reliability for aerospace defense applications, often coordinating with engineering and test teams to align procurement with mission-specific performance requirements. Jarrett maintains a consistent working relationship with C MARTIN CO INC, a trusted vendor specializing in precision instrumentation and calibrated measurement systems. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, with repeat awards reflecting a preference for suppliers with proven expertise in aerospace-grade calibration, NIST-traceable standards, and ruggedized field-deployable equipment. She prioritizes technical fidelity and service responsiveness, fostering partnerships with vendors capable of supporting maintenance, calibration, and technical documentation requirements critical to flight safety and data integrity. Her contracting portfolio reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with approximately half of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a strong commitment to expanding opportunities for small, innovative firms. The remaining awards are open competition, allowing for broader market engagement while maintaining rigorous technical evaluation standards. This pattern demonstrates a deliberate effort to integrate small business innovation without compromising mission-critical performance. Jarrett’s primary NAICS focus spans 334513 for industrial process measurement and control instrumentation and 337214 for specialized office furniture manufacturing—reflecting a dual need for high-accuracy analytical devices and mission-specific workspace systems. Her expertise lies in procuring electro-mechanical sensors, data acquisition systems, and ergonomic test station furniture designed for laboratory and field environments, underscoring her technical fluency in both instrumentation engineering and operational ergonomics within defense aerospace contexts.
