Ms. Kenyatta Harper

Ms. Kenyatta Harper serves as a key procurement professional within the Department of the Air Force’s FA2521 45 Cons Pk facility, where she manages mission-critical acquisitions supporting aerospace operations and base infrastructure resilience. Her portfolio centers on the procurement of precision instrumentation, environmental control systems, and integrated security and communications technologies essential to maintaining operational readiness at airfield and range complexes. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contracting strategies with the facility’s technical and logistical requirements, often coordinating with engineering and operations teams to define performance-based specifications for complex technical systems. Harper maintains established working relationships with specialized contractors including ROBERTS TREESCAPING, LLC, THOMA-SEA MARINE CONSTRUCTORS, L.L.C., CYPRESS SOLUTIONS LLC, and INTERCONNECT WIRING LLP, each bringing niche expertise in facility services, environmental engineering, and mission-critical wiring systems. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical capability and performance reliability, favoring contractors with proven experience in high-stakes defense environments and complex system integration. She exhibits a balanced commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with equal portions of her acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5 and awarded without set-aside preferences. This reflects a deliberate strategy to leverage both specialized small business innovation and broader market capacity while ensuring competitive, compliant outcomes. Her contracting patterns demonstrate consistent support for small business participation without reliance on specific socioeconomic programs such as 8(a) or HUBZone. Her primary procurement focus is squarely on NAICS 541715—Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences—indicating deep engagement with advanced analytical instrumentation, climate control R&D, and engineered systems for mission-critical infrastructure. She routinely procures high-precision sensors, environmental monitoring equipment, and integrated control systems requiring rigorous testing and certification standards, underscoring her technical fluency in aerospace and defense engineering domains.
