Kimberly M. Huttenberger serves as a Contract Specialist within the Office of Acquisition and Grants at the Social Security Administration, where she plays a pivotal role in executing procurements that support the agency’s mission to secure reliable, secure, and efficient operational infrastructure. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on IT modernization, systems integration, cybersecurity, facility maintenance, and critical administrative services essential to benefit delivery. Her work ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurement strategies with SSA’s operational priorities and risk mitigation goals. Huttenberger maintains established relationships with key contractors including CA, Inc., Johnson Controls, Inc., East Coast Welding & Construction Co., Inc., and ColorID, LLC, reflecting a balanced mix of large prime vendors specializing in enterprise software, building systems, and security solutions. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, lifecycle management, and vendor accountability, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in compliance, transparency, and delivery excellence. Her procurement patterns demonstrate a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately 36.7% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, complemented by targeted HUBZone and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-asides. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to full and open competition, she consistently prioritizes socioeconomic goals, actively leveraging set-aside authorities to expand opportunities for qualified small businesses across multiple sectors. Huttenberger’s technical focus centers on NAICS codes related to electrical and building equipment contracting, commercial machinery repair, security services, and current-carrying wiring device manufacturing. These reflect her specialization in procuring physical infrastructure support, facility systems, and integrated security solutions that underpin SSA’s mission-critical environments. Her expertise spans both technical and administrative domains, ensuring acquisitions meet stringent federal standards while supporting the agency’s evolving operational needs.
