Kimberly A. Gillette

Kimberly A. Gillette serves as a Contract Specialist for Navfacsyscom Northwest, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurement actions that support naval infrastructure readiness across the Pacific Northwest. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of acquisition programs, she specializes in engineering, construction, and environmental services contracts aligned with Department of the Navy priorities. Her work directly enables the planning, design, and construction of shipyard modernization projects, energy resilience systems, and environmental compliance infrastructure, ensuring naval facilities meet operational and regulatory standards. She handles complex, multi-year procurements under FAR Part 36 and other construction-related contracting authorities, often coordinating with technical engineers and environmental specialists to align contract requirements with mission needs. Gillette maintains established working relationships with key contractors including CONTRACK WATTS INC, ABSHER CONSTRUCTION CO, and ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT SERVICES, LLC, reflecting a preference for proven performers with demonstrated expertise in naval infrastructure delivery. Her contracting patterns indicate consistent engagement with contractors possessing specialized capabilities in civil works, environmental remediation, and institutional construction, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in performance reliability and technical proficiency. These relationships are cultivated through transparent solicitation processes and rigorous source selection criteria that prioritize past performance and compliance with federal construction standards. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with nearly 29% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a clear commitment to expanding opportunities for small businesses without compromising mission requirements. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, she actively prioritizes small business participation where market conditions and technical scope permit, aligning with DoD and Navy-wide objectives for inclusive contracting. Gillette’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and 237120 (Oil and Gas Pipeline and Related Structures Construction), with significant activity in commercial and institutional building construction (236220) and architectural services (541310). Her expertise spans technical domains including facility modernization, utility system upgrades, and environmental compliance infrastructure, requiring deep familiarity with federal construction codes, sustainability standards, and naval facility specifications.
