Kimberly Hopkins

Kimberly C. Hopkins serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements determination through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while advancing mission-critical procurement objectives. Her portfolio primarily encompasses information technology services, financial support functions, and workforce solutions, with a focus on performance-based contracting and competitive solicitation strategies. Hopkins ensures that procurements align with agency priorities and regulatory mandates, fostering transparency and accountability in all acquisition activities. While specific contractor names are not available, Hopkins maintains a diverse vendor ecosystem characterized by engagement with both large service providers and small businesses across technology and professional services sectors. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for open competition, with the majority of awards issued under unrestricted solicitations. She consistently employs FAR Part 15 negotiation procedures and leverages indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles where appropriate to ensure agility and scalability in service delivery. Hopkins demonstrates a measurable commitment to small business participation, with 18.2% of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Though she rarely utilizes specialized socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, her consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a dedication to expanding market access for small firms. Her approach balances competitive fairness with statutory goals for small business inclusion, aligning with broader federal socioeconomic objectives. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), reflecting deep expertise in software development, systems integration, and IT consulting. She also frequently procures computing infrastructure and data processing services under NAICS 518210, as well as temporary staffing solutions under NAICS 561320 and financial investment services under NAICS 523999. This diverse technical portfolio highlights her proficiency in managing complex, service-based acquisitions across digital transformation and operational support domains.
