In this role, she manages the full spectrum of acquisition activities for highly technical defense programs, with a primary focus on the Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM) and integrated guidance and electronic attack systems. Her responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, awarding, and administering complex contracts for defense-grade hardware and software, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical performance standards. She plays a pivotal role in sustaining air dominance through timely and secure procurement of next-generation missile systems. Kim Love works primarily with prime contractors specializing in guided missile manufacturing, aerospace systems integration, and electronic warfare technology. While specific vendor names are not disclosed, her procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with defense industry leaders possessing AS9100 and ITAR certifications, as well as those with proven experience in classified program execution. Her working relationships are characterized by rigorous technical oversight, stringent performance metrics, and close coordination with engineering and logistics teams to ensure system readiness and operational continuity. Kim Love’s contracting portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her acquisitions awarded under full and open competition.
