Kris Faulkner

Kris Faulkner serves as a Senior Procurement Specialist, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of complex acquisition programs across construction and professional services domains. With a focus on compliance and strategic sourcing, Kris ensures alignment with federal procurement regulations, including FAR Part 19 and competitive bidding protocols. Their work supports mission-critical infrastructure and facility modernization initiatives, typically handling sealed bid and negotiated procurements for architectural, engineering, and building systems services. Kris plays a pivotal role in translating agency needs into enforceable contract vehicles that promote transparency, accountability, and value. While specific contractor names are not available, Kris maintains consistent engagement with a broad base of qualified vendors, particularly those specializing in building trades and design services. Their procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, pre-vetted contractors with demonstrated technical capacity in plumbing, HVAC, and architectural design. Vendor relationships are characterized by structured evaluations, performance-based contract management, and adherence to quality assurance standards under DPAS and FAR 42 frameworks. Kris’s contracting activity is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 93.3% of awards issued under unrestricted competition. However, a meaningful 6.7% of procurements are structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate, though selective, commitment to small business participation. This approach balances broad market access with targeted opportunities for qualified small businesses without mandating socioeconomic preferences such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides. The primary NAICS focus areas include Architectural Services (541310) and Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors (238220), each representing over 20% of activity, alongside significant procurement in Siding Contractors (238170), Fire Protection (922160), and Heavy Civil Engineering (237990). Kris brings deep expertise in procuring integrated building systems, facility upgrades, and construction-related professional services, demonstrating strong technical fluency in building codes, performance specifications, and contract administration for capital improvement projects.
