Kimberly McPhillips

Kimberly McPhillips serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while advancing mission-critical procurement objectives. Her portfolio primarily encompasses complex technical services and specialized manufacturing contracts, with a focus on precision instrumentation, software development, and engineering solutions. Kimberly’s approach emphasizes transparency, competitive bidding, and risk mitigation to deliver high-value outcomes aligned with agency needs. While specific contractor names are not available, Kimberly maintains a broad network of vendors across the technology and manufacturing sectors, fostering relationships with both large prime contractors and niche suppliers capable of delivering specialized technical solutions. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for open competition, with the majority of awards issued under unrestricted solicitations. She actively engages with industry through pre-solicitation outreach and market surveys to ensure requirements are clearly defined and achievable within the competitive landscape. Kimberly’s set-aside preferences demonstrate a measured commitment to small business participation, with approximately 7.1% of her awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the bulk of her acquisitions remain unrestricted, she strategically employs small business set-asides to support economic opportunity and foster innovation among qualified small entities, aligning with broader federal socioeconomic goals without compromising competition or mission readiness. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing), reflecting a strong demand for advanced instrumentation and control systems. She also frequently procures Custom Computer Programming Services (541511) and Computer Systems Design Services (541512), alongside Engineering Services (541330), indicating deep technical expertise in integrated hardware-software solutions. These acquisitions underscore her specialization in mission-enabling technologies requiring rigorous performance standards and regulatory compliance.
