Kylie J. Hager

Kylie J. Hager serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle for a diverse portfolio of mission-critical services. Her work supports the agency’s operational readiness through the solicitation, award, and administration of contracts governed by the Federal Acquisition Regulation. She specializes in procurements requiring technical precision and compliance with socioeconomic mandates, routinely overseeing requirements in flight training, administrative management consulting, postal services, and information services. Her role is central to ensuring timely, lawful, and efficient contract execution that aligns with federal procurement policy and agency mission objectives. Hager maintains a broad network of vendor partnerships across commercial and specialized service providers, engaging both large prime contractors and small businesses in competitive bidding environments. While no single contractor dominates her award portfolio, her procurement approach emphasizes open competition and performance-based outcomes. She fosters transparent, compliant relationships with vendors, ensuring adherence to contract terms, delivery schedules, and quality assurance standards throughout the lifecycle of each acquisition. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under non-set-aside authorities. This indicates a strategic focus on maximizing market participation and leveraging broad industry capabilities rather than reserving opportunities for specific socioeconomic categories. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her processes remain fully compliant with all applicable small business programs, and she actively considers small business subcontracting plans where appropriate. Hager’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 611512 (Flight Training), where she manages contracts for pilot instruction, simulator-based training, and aviation curriculum development. She also regularly procures services under NAICS 541611 (Management Consulting), 511210 (Software Publishers), and 491110 (Postal Service). Her technical expertise spans aviation training systems, operational support services, and administrative solutions, demonstrating deep familiarity with the regulatory and operational demands of these specialized domains.
