Kimberly Holt

Kimberly Holt serves as a Contract Specialist within Washington Headquarters Services (WHS), a critical support agency of the Department of Defense responsible for enterprise-wide administrative and operational services. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of complex procurement actions, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and DoD-specific directives. Her portfolio centers on high-precision analytical laboratory instrumentation and associated technical services that underpin defense research, testing, and quality assurance functions. Kimberly’s work directly enables WHS’s mission to modernize institutional systems and sustain mission-critical infrastructure through timely, compliant, and strategically aligned acquisitions. She maintains consistent, long-term relationships with a select group of prime contractors, including CLARITY INNOVATIONS LLC, CYNERGY PROFESSIONAL SYSTEMS LLC, SIGNATURE RENOVATIONS LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, and GUIDEHOUSE INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in specialized scientific instrumentation, systems integration, and enterprise consulting services. Kimberly engages these contractors through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements, emphasizing technical capability, past performance, and regulatory adherence over price alone. Kimberly’s contracting activity is exclusively non-set-aside, with 100% of her awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with WHS’s need for specialized technical capabilities that may not be widely available among small business concerns, and underscores a focus on mission readiness over socioeconomic targeting. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her procurement decisions remain fully compliant with all applicable socioeconomic statutes. Her primary procurement focus is NAICS 334516 — Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing — indicating deep expertise in acquiring advanced scientific equipment such as mass spectrometers, chromatography systems, and environmental testing instruments. These acquisitions support DoD laboratories engaged in materials analysis, chemical detection, and forensic science, requiring precise technical specifications and rigorous validation protocols. Kimberly’s domain knowledge ensures that procurement actions meet the stringent performance and reliability standards demanded by defense science and engineering communities.
