Kimberly A. Knott serves as a Contracting Officer for FA4460 19 Cons Pka within the Department of the Air Force, where she manages acquisitions critical to sustaining the operational readiness of Air Force installations. Her portfolio focuses on facility infrastructure, including structural metal fabrication, environmental systems, and utility upgrades essential to mission-critical base operations. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while delivering timely, cost-effective solutions that maintain airfield, roadway, and building integrity across the installation footprint. Knott’s work directly supports the agency’s mission to preserve and modernize the physical environments enabling Air Force personnel and equipment to perform at peak capacity. She maintains strong, recurring relationships with key contractors including DREW INVESTMENT GROUP, LLC and L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED, both of which provide specialized construction and facility services. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance reliability and technical proficiency in structural and infrastructure-related deliverables. Knott consistently engages these firms on complex, multi-year projects requiring precision in compliance, safety standards, and schedule adherence, fostering a collaborative environment that prioritizes mission continuity. Knott demonstrates a steadfast commitment to small business participation, with 100% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity for small businesses, particularly those certified under socioeconomic programs. Her contracting patterns consistently channel opportunities to qualified small entities, reinforcing the Department of the Air Force’s broader goals of equitable access and workforce development within the defense industrial base. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 332312 (Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing), where she sources custom metal components for structural repairs and new construction, and NAICS 621399 (Offices of All Other Miscellaneous Health Practitioners), supporting on-base medical facility operations through specialized infrastructure services. This dual focus reveals expertise in both heavy industrial fabrication and niche facility support systems, enabling her to manage technically diverse contracts requiring coordination between engineering, environmental, and health service stakeholders.
