Myra Kline

Myra Kline serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement development and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports the agency’s mission by delivering specialized technical equipment and instrumentation through transparent, competitive processes. Her portfolio primarily encompasses complex procurements for precision measuring, controlling, and testing devices used in industrial and electrical systems, requiring deep technical understanding and careful risk mitigation in source selection. Myra cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse range of vendors, including both large manufacturers and small businesses specializing in industrial instrumentation and control systems. While no single contractor dominates her award profile, she consistently engages with firms possessing the technical capability to meet stringent performance specifications for sensors, meters, and process control instruments. Her approach emphasizes fair competition and vendor responsiveness, fostering long-term partnerships built on reliability, compliance, and innovation in product delivery. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 91.7% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides, indicating a focus on full and open competition under FAR 6.1. However, she maintains a deliberate commitment to small business participation, consistently reserving 8.3% of her portfolio for Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating balanced support for socioeconomic goals without compromising technical requirements. Myra’s technical expertise centers on NAICS codes related to precision instrumentation manufacturing, particularly 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing), 334513 (Instruments for Industrial Process Variables), and 334515 (Electrical Signal Measurement Instruments). She routinely procures devices such as flow meters, pressure transducers, data loggers, and calibration systems, requiring knowledge of industry standards like ANSI, IEC, and NIST traceability. Her domain expertise ensures acquisitions align with operational needs in industrial automation, energy monitoring, and process control environments.
