Kristin Wright

Kristin Wright serves as a Contracting Officer for the National Continuity SECTION (CON50) within the Federal Emergency Management Agency, where she manages mission-critical acquisitions to sustain resilient communications and infrastructure during national emergencies. Her portfolio focuses on securing robust, secure, and redundant systems that ensure operational continuity under adverse conditions. She oversees the full lifecycle of contracts—from solicitation and evaluation to award and administration—primarily for technical services and infrastructure projects aligned with federal continuity directives. Her work directly supports the agency’s mandate to maintain uninterrupted command, control, and communication capabilities during crises. Kristin Wright cultivates partnerships with a diverse range of contractors specializing in telecommunications, broadcast equipment, and critical infrastructure construction. While no single vendor dominates her award profile, she regularly engages firms with proven expertise in hardening communication networks, deploying satellite-based redundancy systems, and constructing secure power and communication line infrastructure. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical capability, cybersecurity compliance, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor relationships grounded in reliability and mission alignment. Her procurement strategy reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 87.9% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides. Nevertheless, she consistently allocates 12.1% of opportunities to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business participation. Though specific socioeconomic categories like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB are not predominant, her pattern indicates a preference for small businesses with demonstrated technical proficiency in communications and infrastructure domains. Kristin’s primary NAICS focus includes Power and Communication Line Construction (237130), Radio and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing (334220), and Satellite Telecommunications (517410). She procures hardened communication devices, redundant transmission systems, emergency broadcast equipment, and professional technical services supporting continuity planning. Her expertise lies at the intersection of physical infrastructure and secure wireless systems, ensuring that national continuity capabilities remain operational under extreme conditions.
