Kristy Rubio

Kristy Rubio serves as a procurement professional within the W7M9 USPFO Activity KS ARNG, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to ensure military infrastructure readiness through strategic acquisition of construction, maintenance, and logistical services. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on facility sustainment, including the construction and renovation of commercial and industrial buildings to house training and operational units. Her work directly enables force readiness by securing essential services that maintain mission-critical infrastructure, with a strong emphasis on compliance with federal acquisition regulations and timely delivery of mission-supporting solutions. Rubio collaborates with a broad spectrum of vendors, including small businesses, general contractors, and specialized service providers, to fulfill complex facility and operational requirements. While specific contractor names are not publicly available, her procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with firms capable of delivering integrated construction, facility maintenance, and support services under competitive and set-aside frameworks. Her working relationships emphasize performance-based contracting, clear deliverables, and accountability in execution, ensuring alignment with Army standards for durability, safety, and operational continuity. A strong advocate for socioeconomic opportunity, Rubio consistently prioritizes small business participation, with over 57% of her acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She also regularly utilizes 8(a) competed set-asides, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to empowering disadvantaged businesses. Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach between open competition and targeted socioeconomic initiatives, aligning with Army-wide goals to broaden vendor diversity and enhance resilience in the supply base. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes related to hospitality and facility support services, including hotels and motels (721110), food service contractors (722310), and caterers (722320), alongside essential utilities and environmental services such as septic tank operations (562991) and specialized telecommunications (517810). This reflects a nuanced understanding of the non-combat infrastructure needs of Army training and garrison operations, where personnel support services are as critical as physical facilities.
