Kitchell’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for small business participation, with over 93% of his procurements structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. He regularly engages with specialized trade contractors certified under the 8(a) Business Development Program and Women-Owned Small Business initiatives, fostering long-term vendor partnerships rooted in performance reliability and regulatory compliance.

These categories reflect his technical focus on integrated building systems that support base infrastructure resilience. Kitchell consistently sources services involving retrofitting, code-compliant upgrades, and preventive maintenance of mechanical and structural components, demonstrating deep familiarity with military facility standards and the lifecycle needs of aging installations. His contracting approach underscores a deliberate and sustained commitment to socioeconomic goals, with nearly all awards directed toward small businesses, particularly those certified under 8(a) and WOSB programs. This pattern ensures broad economic opportunity while maintaining the high-performance standards required for mission-critical military facilities.
