Kimberly A. Coakley

Kimberly A. Coakley serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations, particularly FAR Part 19, and supports mission-critical services by structuring solicitations that balance technical needs with socioeconomic objectives. Her acquisitions primarily involve professional services, technical support, and specialty construction-related work, often requiring complex statement of work development and performance-based contracting methodologies. Coakley cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse range of vendors, including small businesses, general contractors, and IT service providers. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms capable of delivering specialized technical support, facility-related services, and operational assistance. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for competitive, transparent processes that foster vendor innovation and accountability, with a strong emphasis on clear performance metrics and post-award oversight. A staunch advocate for small business participation, Coakley structures approximately half of her acquisitions as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, aligning with agency goals to promote economic opportunity and workforce diversity. The remaining half are open to all competitors, reflecting a balanced approach that ensures market competitiveness while prioritizing socioeconomically disadvantaged vendors. Her consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a deliberate strategy to expand access to federal contracting opportunities for qualifying businesses. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), where she acquires IT consulting, systems integration, and data management solutions. She also frequently procures services under NAICS 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors) and NAICS 561990 (All Other Support Services), demonstrating expertise in facility maintenance, logistics support, and ancillary technical services. This blend of IT and operational support contracting highlights her technical fluency across both digital and physical infrastructure domains.
