Kim L. Holman

Kim L. Holman serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation and market research through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports mission-critical procurement activities within her organization, focusing on complex technical and industrial goods. Her acquisitions typically involve high-value manufacturing components, control systems, and specialized equipment, requiring deep technical understanding and precise contract structuring to meet operational needs while maintaining fiscal accountability and regulatory integrity. Holman maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse range of contractors, including prime vendors specializing in aerospace, electrical systems, and industrial controls. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms possessing relevant technical certifications and manufacturing capabilities, fostering competitive bidding environments and encouraging vendor innovation. Her approach emphasizes transparent solicitation practices and rigorous source selection, ensuring fair and open competition while upholding the integrity of the acquisition process. A strong advocate for small business participation, Holman demonstrates a pronounced preference for total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, with nearly 43% of her awards structured to support small business eligibility. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic goals, prioritizing opportunities for small businesses over other set-aside categories such as 8(a) or HUBZone, and consistently aligning procurement strategies with federal mandates to expand small business access to government contracts. Her technical expertise centers on manufacturing sectors including aircraft engine and engine parts (NAICS 336412), miscellaneous electrical equipment (335999), relay and industrial control systems (335314), and measuring and controlling devices (334519), with additional activity in plumbing and HVAC contracting (238220). She specializes in procuring precision-engineered components and subsystems critical to defense, aerospace, and industrial infrastructure, demonstrating a nuanced understanding of technical specifications, supply chain constraints, and performance-based contracting principles.
