Kimberly Horvath

Kimberly Horvath serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and advancing agency procurement objectives through transparent, competitive processes. Her portfolio primarily encompasses service-based contracts, including technical support, research and development, and facilities management, with a strong emphasis on aligning acquisitions with statutory small business goals and socioeconomic objectives. While specific contractor names are not available, Kimberly consistently engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, and economically disadvantaged women-owned small businesses. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for competitive, open-market opportunities balanced with targeted set-asides, fostering robust vendor participation and fostering long-term partnerships with qualified small business contractors who meet stringent performance and compliance standards. Kimberly demonstrates a pronounced commitment to small business participation, with nearly 53% of her acquisitions structured as set-asides. Her most frequent set-asides include Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, with additional support for SBA-certified Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Businesses (EDWOSBs). These patterns underscore her active role in advancing federal socioeconomic contracting goals and expanding market access for underrepresented entrepreneurs. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 323120 (Support Activities for Printing), 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), and 541715 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences), with additional activity in 336120 (Heavy Duty Truck Manufacturing) and 561210 (Facilities Support Services). She specializes in acquiring technical services, engineering support, and mission-critical operational services, demonstrating expertise in complex, performance-based contract structures and technical requirement development within these specialized domains.
