Kimberly Marra

CPT Kimberly L. Marra serves as a Contracting Officer within the Department of the Army’s 0409 Aq Hq Contract office, responsible for managing complex facility and infrastructure support acquisitions critical to U.S. Army garrison readiness across Europe and deployed environments. Her portfolio encompasses procurement of specialized construction, facility maintenance, and mission-critical equipment servicing to sustain airfields, utilities, and logistical infrastructure. She executes full lifecycle contracting actions under FAR and DFARS, ensuring compliance with military operational requirements while balancing cost efficiency, schedule adherence, and technical performance standards. CPT Marra maintains longstanding relationships with a select group of international and domestic contractors, including ING. LUDWIG FREITAG ELEKTRO-GMBH & CO. KG, APC AG, and BB GOVERNMENT SERVICES GMBH, reflecting a preference for technically proficient vendors with proven expertise in military-grade electrical systems, heavy equipment maintenance, and installation support. Her contracting patterns emphasize vendor reliability, regulatory compliance, and technical specialization over volume, fostering long-term partnerships with firms capable of delivering mission-essential services in austere or overseas environments. Her procurement strategy reflects minimal use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 96.5% of awards issued as unrestricted actions under FAR 19.5, indicating a primary focus on technical capability rather than socioeconomic preference. While small business participation is limited to approximately 3.5%, it is strategically aligned with niche service providers capable of meeting stringent military standards. CPT Marra’s primary NAICS focus includes 532111 (passenger car rental), 333112 (lawn and garden equipment manufacturing), and 811310 (commercial machinery repair), underscoring her oversight of vehicle fleets, ground support equipment, and facility maintenance systems essential to daily garrison operations. Her domain expertise lies in procuring non-combat, infrastructure-enabling assets that sustain soldier readiness and quality of life on overseas installations.
