Kristen Hoylman

1st Lt. Kristen Hoylman serves as a contracting officer within the FA4407 375th Contracting Squadron under the Department of the Air Force, where she manages mission-critical facility and infrastructure acquisitions to sustain Air Force operational readiness. Her portfolio focuses on facility services, environmental compliance, airfield support, and security infrastructure, ensuring installations maintain regulatory standards and mission-critical functionality. She routinely handles performance-based service contracts, construction-related services, and specialized equipment procurements under FAR Part 36 and Part 37, aligning acquisitions with the agency’s strategic priorities in base sustainment and resilience. Lt. Hoylman maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Challenge Unlimited, Inc., JayTech, Inc., and North American Import and Export Company LLC, which provide specialized building operations, technical support, and logistics services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance outcomes, quality assurance, and long-term vendor reliability, fostering collaborative partnerships with firms experienced in military installation environments. She prioritizes contractors with proven track records in federal facility management and compliance-driven execution. While 80% of her acquisitions are unrestricted, she actively promotes small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate commitment to expanding economic opportunity within the defense supply chain. Her socioeconomic contracting patterns demonstrate balanced support for small businesses without reliance on specialized set-asides like 8(a) or HUBZone, favoring broad-based competition within the small business category. Her primary NAICS focus includes 519130 (Other Activities Related to Advertising), 337215 (Showcase and Locker Manufacturing), 541511 (Custom Computer Programming), 334519 (Other Measuring Devices), and 238310 (Drywall and Insulation Contractors). This reflects expertise in procuring facility-related technology, specialized storage systems, environmental controls, and construction services essential to maintaining secure, compliant, and mission-ready Air Force installations.
