Kylie Ferraz

Kylie Ferraz serves as a primary contracting professional within the Supply Chain Management Contracting Division of the Federal Acquisition Service’s General Services Administration, where she manages the acquisition of mission-critical industrial components and precision-engineered hardware essential to federal operational readiness. Her work centers on procuring durable metal products, handtools, fluid power fittings, and specialized manufacturing equipment used across maintenance, logistics, and field operations. She plays a pivotal role in ensuring federal agencies receive reliable, high-integrity industrial supplies that meet stringent performance and durability standards, aligning with GSA’s mission to sustain national infrastructure and emergency response capabilities. Ferraz maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Fortress Infrastructure, LLC, X & D SUPPLY, LAINE INDUSTRIES, INC, WRIGHT TOOL COMPANY, LLC, and EMPIRE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in industrial manufacturing, tooling, and metal fabrication. Her contracting approach emphasizes vendor reliability, technical compliance, and supply chain resilience, often leveraging long-term contract vehicles to ensure continuous availability of mission-essential components. Her procurement portfolio reflects a balanced commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate effort to foster economic opportunity among qualified industrial suppliers without compromising procurement integrity or operational requirements. Ferraz specializes in NAICS categories centered on hardware manufacturing (332510), metal container production (332439), and handtool and saw blade fabrication (332216), with additional focus on fluid power components and miscellaneous fabricated metal products. Her technical domain expertise lies in sourcing precision-engineered metal goods used in heavy-duty applications, requiring deep familiarity with material specifications, tolerances, and industrial quality standards such as ANSI, ASME, and MIL-SPEC.
