Kimberly P. Cooley

Kimberly P. Cooley serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of complex procurement actions, from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing mission-critical acquisitions for defense and aerospace-related capabilities. Her work primarily involves negotiating and executing firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contracts for specialized industrial components, with a strong emphasis on technical precision and regulatory adherence. Cooley routinely handles acquisitions requiring detailed engineering specifications and supply chain validation, ensuring timely delivery of high-integrity parts for national security applications. While specific contractor names are not available, Cooley maintains consistent relationships with manufacturers and fabricators specializing in precision-engineered components for aviation and motor vehicle systems. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industrial suppliers with proven quality control systems and AS9100 or ISO 9001 certifications. She engages both large-tier suppliers and small business subcontractors, fostering a competitive environment that prioritizes technical capability and regulatory compliance over price alone. Cooley’s procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 97.4% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting a focus on technical necessity and industrial capacity. Only 2.6% of awards are structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a measured, mission-driven approach to socioeconomic contracting rather than a preference for mandatory set-asides. Her pattern suggests a deliberate balance between leveraging broad market capability and selectively supporting small business participation where technical alignment permits. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing), 336390 (Other Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturing), and 332911 (Industrial Valve Manufacturing), demonstrating deep expertise in high-reliability mechanical and fluid systems. She regularly acquires precision-fabricated metal components, aerospace-grade valves, and specialized drivetrain parts requiring stringent material and performance standards, underscoring her technical fluency in defense and industrial manufacturing domains.
