Kimberly Wallentine

Kimberly Wallentine serves as a Contract Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R10 Construction Acquisitions Branch, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex construction and design-build procurements for federal facilities across Alaska and the Pacific Northwest. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of acquisition actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—she ensures compliance with federal regulations while advancing the agency’s mission to deliver secure, resilient, and energy-efficient infrastructure. Her portfolio primarily centers on commercial and institutional building construction, with a strong emphasis on integrated design-build methodologies that promote innovation, sustainability, and operational continuity for mission-critical federal sites. Kimberly cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse range of contractors, including general contractors, architectural firms, and specialized construction firms experienced in federal compliance and high-performance building standards. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with vendors possessing proven expertise in seismic retrofitting, energy-efficient systems, and remote-site construction—critical competencies for the region’s unique environmental and logistical challenges. Her working relationships are characterized by transparency, early vendor engagement, and a focus on performance-based outcomes. Her procurement strategy reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides, indicating a focus on technical capability and value over socioeconomic classifications. This approach prioritizes mission readiness and project complexity over socioeconomic targeting, though she remains fully compliant with all small business participation requirements as part of broader agency goals. Kimberly’s primary NAICS focus includes 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 711510 (Independent Artists, Writers, and Performers), reflecting a dual emphasis on physical infrastructure and the integration of public art and cultural elements into federal facilities. She specializes in procurements requiring coordination between construction teams and creative professionals to deliver spaces that are both functionally robust and culturally resonant.
