Lawrence A Hurlburt

Lawrence A. Hurlburt serves as a Contracting Officer for the 0408 Aq Hq Kuwait under the Department of the Army, where he is responsible for managing mission-critical procurement activities that sustain forward-deployed military operations in austere environments. His portfolio centers on securing and maintaining essential infrastructure, including physical security systems, power generation, and utility support services critical to operational readiness. As the primary acquisition authority for the unit, Hurlburt executes full lifecycle contracting processes—from solicitation and evaluation to award and contract administration—ensuring compliance with FAR, DFARS, and Army-specific regulatory frameworks while aligning acquisitions with strategic force protection objectives. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the procurement record, Hurlburt’s acquisitions are typically awarded through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated contracts to vendors capable of delivering complex, mission-essential systems in high-threat, logistically constrained theaters. He engages with contractors possessing specialized expertise in military-grade infrastructure, remote power solutions, and environmental compliance, fostering partnerships with firms that demonstrate proven performance in expeditionary settings and rapid deployment capabilities. Hurlburt’s contracting patterns reflect a strict preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under the “No Set-Aside” category. This indicates a deliberate focus on technical capability and mission urgency over socioeconomic set-asides, prioritizing performance and readiness over programmatic diversity goals. His approach underscores the operational necessity of rapid, unrestricted access to qualified vendors capable of meeting stringent security and performance standards in a dynamic theater environment. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 221320—Sewage Treatment Facilities—which reflects the agency’s emphasis on constructing and maintaining sanitation and wastewater infrastructure in deployed locations. This specialization requires deep technical knowledge of modular treatment systems, hazardous waste containment, and compliance with DoD environmental standards. Hurlburt’s expertise lies in procuring turnkey environmental services that ensure force health protection and sustainment in austere, non-permissive environments.
