Kimberly S. Horner

Kimberly S. Horner serves as a key procurement professional within the Department of the Air Force’s FA2521 45 Cons Pk facility, supporting mission-critical aerospace and base infrastructure operations through the acquisition of precision instrumentation, environmental control systems, and integrated facility services. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts essential to sustaining operational readiness at airfield and range complexes, with a focus on high-reliability climate control, security communications, and specialized maintenance systems. Her work directly enables the facility’s mission to maintain continuous readiness through technically complex, mission-essential procurements that demand strict compliance with federal aerospace standards. Horner maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including ROBERTS TREESCAPING, LLC for landscape and environmental management, THOMA-SEA MARINE CONSTRUCTORS, L.L.C. for infrastructure support, CYPRESS SOLUTIONS LLC for technical systems integration, and INTERCONNECT WIRING LLP for advanced electrical and communication cabling. These partnerships reflect a preference for niche vendors with proven expertise in aerospace-environmental systems, indicating a strategic approach to vendor selection based on technical capability and past performance rather than volume. Her procurement patterns demonstrate a strong commitment to small business participation, with over half of her awards set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, including a significant portion allocated to women-owned small businesses and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. This reflects a deliberate socioeconomic strategy to foster local and specialized vendor development while ensuring access to innovative, responsive contractors. Horner’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 333415, where she procures commercial and industrial refrigeration and HVAC equipment critical to facility sustainability. She also regularly engages in acquisitions under NAICS 238220 and 237130, supporting plumbing, heating, air-conditioning, and power infrastructure installations. Her expertise centers on mission-critical environmental and utility systems that ensure uninterrupted operations in high-stakes aerospace environments.
