Kimberly Tate

Kimberly A. Tate serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex procurement actions in support of environmental remediation and chemical manufacturing initiatives. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing mission-critical objectives through strategic sourcing, competitive bidding, and contract administration. Her acquisitions primarily involve service contracts for hazardous waste cleanup, soil and groundwater remediation, and the production of specialized inorganic chemical compounds. Tate’s work is integral to ensuring environmental compliance and industrial safety through timely, transparent, and legally sound contracting practices. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Tate’s procurement portfolio reflects a consistent engagement with firms possessing technical expertise in environmental engineering and chemical process manufacturing. She collaborates with a broad spectrum of vendors, including large-capability contractors with specialized remediation capabilities and niche manufacturers of industrial-grade inorganic chemicals. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical qualification, past performance, and regulatory adherence over volume-based vendor preferences. Tate’s contracting patterns show a 100% preference for non-set-aside acquisitions, indicating a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This reflects a mission-driven approach prioritizing technical capability and operational readiness over socioeconomic targeting, though she remains compliant with all applicable small business participation requirements under FAR Part 19. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 562910 (Remediation Services), encompassing site assessment, containment, and long-term environmental monitoring, and NAICS 325180 (Other Basic Inorganic Chemical Manufacturing), which includes the production of reagents, neutralizing agents, and industrial catalysts. Tate demonstrates deep domain expertise in hazardous materials management and chemical process controls, ensuring that contracted services meet stringent EPA and DOT regulatory standards. Her technical acumen supports national infrastructure resilience and environmental protection goals.
