Kimberly S. Horner

Kimberly S. Horner serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Air Force’s FA2521 45 Cons Pk facility, where she manages mission-critical procurement actions supporting aerospace infrastructure and operational readiness. Her portfolio encompasses the acquisition of precision instrumentation, environmental control systems, and integrated security and communications infrastructure essential to airfield and range operations. She applies full lifecycle contracting expertise to ensure compliance with federal regulations while aligning acquisitions with the facility’s strategic objectives in sustaining high-tempo aerospace missions. Horner maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized vendors, including ROBERTS TREESCAPING, LLC for landscape management, THOMA-SEA MARINE CONSTRUCTORS, L.L.C. for structural and marine-related construction support, CYPRESS SOLUTIONS LLC for technical services, and INTERCONNECT WIRING LLP for electrical and communication system integration. These partnerships reflect a preference for niche contractors with proven capability in complex, mission-sensitive environments, often requiring adherence to strict DoD standards and security protocols. A strong advocate for socioeconomic contracting, Horner prioritizes small business participation, with over 35% of her awards directed to Small Business Set-Asides and Women-Owned Small Businesses, and additional allocations to HUBZone and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business concerns. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a deliberate strategy to foster equitable access to federal opportunities while ensuring contractor readiness for high-stakes government requirements. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), 561730 (Landscaping Services), and 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), with significant activity in 333415 for climate control equipment and 237130 for power and communication infrastructure. This technical specialization underscores her expertise in procuring integrated facility systems that support mission-critical air force operations under stringent performance and compliance standards.
