Kyra Froemke

Kyra Froemke serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation and promoting efficient, transparent procurement practices. She specializes in complex, high-value contracts within energy and analytical instrumentation sectors, coordinating requirements development, source selection, contract award, and performance monitoring. Her role is central to fulfilling the agency’s mission of securing mission-critical goods and services while upholding statutory obligations for fair competition and socioeconomic goals. Froemke routinely handles sealed bidding and negotiated procurements under FAR Parts 13, 14, and 15, with a focus on technical specifications requiring specialized industry expertise. Froemke cultivates strategic relationships with a diverse pool of vendors, including large prime contractors with deep technical capabilities in petroleum refining systems and analytical laboratory equipment, as well as small businesses capable of delivering niche, high-precision components. Her contracting approach emphasizes collaboration with qualified suppliers to ensure technical compliance and delivery reliability, often engaging in pre-solicitation outreach to clarify requirements and encourage responsive bids. She maintains a balanced procurement strategy that supports both established industry leaders and emerging vendors with proven technical competence. A strong advocate for small business participation, Froemke consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, allocating over 62% of her acquisitions to small businesses. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate effort to expand economic opportunity by targeting eligible firms without reliance on specific socioeconomic programs like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, instead favoring broad small business eligibility to maximize competition and innovation. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 324110 (Petroleum Refineries), where she acquires specialized equipment, maintenance services, and process control systems critical to energy infrastructure. She also procures analytical laboratory instruments under NAICS 334516 and petroleum merchant wholesale services under NAICS 424720, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with industrial testing, fuel quality assurance, and supply chain logistics for refined petroleum products.
