Kimberly Kozlowski

Kimberly Kozlowski serves as a key procurement professional within Washington Headquarters Services, supporting the Department of Defense’s mission to modernize institutional management systems and enhance enterprise-wide operational efficiency. She manages a diverse portfolio of non-defense-specific administrative and technical services contracts, focusing on mission-enabling solutions such as background investigations, research and development support, and IT modernization. Her work directly supports WHS’s strategic priorities in digital transformation and institutional optimization, ensuring that critical internal functions are sustained through compliant, high-performance contracting. Kozlowski maintains consistent relationships with a core group of 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 service providers with proven capabilities in investigative services, systems design, and institutional consulting. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical proficiency, and long-term performance, often resulting in repeat engagements with vendors who demonstrate compliance and adaptability across complex DoD environments. Her procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 90% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, reflecting a focus on capability over socioeconomic classification. However, she maintains a deliberate 10% commitment to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating balanced support for small business participation without compromising mission requirements. Kozlowski’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561611 (Investigation and Personal Background Check Services), followed by 519190 (Other Information Services), 541715 (R&D in Physical and Engineering Sciences), and 541512/541511 (Computer Systems Design and Custom Programming). Her portfolio centers on securing specialized services that support DoD administrative infrastructure, data integrity, and decision-making systems, with deep expertise in technical consulting, cybersecurity-enabled research, and enterprise IT modernization initiatives.
