Kimberly J Hume

Kimberly J. Hume serves as a Contracting Officer for the Department of the Air Force’s FA4610 30 Cons Pk facility, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain critical infrastructure at Vandenberg Space Force Base. Her portfolio supports the operational readiness of national security space launch and test sites through facility maintenance, utilities modernization, security enhancements, and technical support services. She executes full lifecycle contracting actions under FAR and DFARS, ensuring compliance with federal procurement standards while aligning acquisitions with the Space Systems Command’s strategic priorities for infrastructure resilience and mission-critical sustainment. Hume maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, DIVERSE PEST MANAGEMENT, TECH O. R., LLC, KING FREIGHT LLC, and DARBONNIER TACTICAL SUPPLY LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on integrated facilities support, logistics, and specialized technical services essential to maintaining high-security, mission-critical environments. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, performance-based outcomes, and long-term vendor stability, fostering collaborative relationships with contractors capable of delivering complex, time-sensitive services under stringent operational constraints. Her set-aside preferences reflect a balanced commitment to socioeconomic programs, with approximately 28.6% of awards directed toward small business set-asides—equally split between Total Small Business and 8(a) competed contracts. While the majority of her acquisitions are unrestricted, she actively leverages 8(a) authority to expand opportunities for disadvantaged small businesses, demonstrating a deliberate effort to diversify the contractor base without compromising mission requirements. Hume’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 493110 (General Warehousing and Storage) and 561210 (Facilities Support Services), each accounting for one-third of her portfolio, followed by 561730 (Landscaping Services) and 511210 (Publishing). She specializes in acquiring integrated facility services, environmental maintenance, logistics support, and specialized security-related supplies, reflecting deep expertise in sustaining the physical and operational environments required for space operations.
