Kimberly A. Stone

Kimberly A. Stone serves as a Contracting Specialist responsible for managing complex acquisitions in support of national defense and aerospace systems. She plays a critical role in executing full lifecycle contracting processes, from market research and solicitation development to award and contract administration, ensuring compliance with FAR and agency-specific regulations. Her portfolio primarily encompasses high-precision technical systems, including avionics, flight control components, and mission-critical instrumentation, often requiring specialized engineering oversight and rigorous performance standards. While no specific contractor relationships are identified in available data, her procurement patterns suggest consistent engagement with Tier 1 and Tier 2 manufacturers in the aerospace and defense supply chain, including firms capable of meeting stringent military specifications and quality assurance protocols. She fosters collaborative vendor partnerships grounded in technical capability, past performance, and regulatory compliance, with an emphasis on maintaining a competitive and resilient supplier base. Kimberly demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 90.9% of her acquisitions conducted without set-aside restrictions. However, she actively supports small business participation, allocating 9.1% of her awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a measured but intentional commitment to expanding opportunities for qualified small businesses without compromising mission readiness or technical integrity. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), with significant activity in NAICS 334511 (Aeronautical System and Instrument Manufacturing) and NAICS 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing). She regularly procures precision-engineered components such as flight control actuators, navigation sensors, and embedded avionics, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with aerospace systems integration and defense procurement standards.
