Catherine Mckinney

Catherine McKinney serves as a key procurement lead within the 0413 Aq Hq Rco-hi, a U.S. Army installation support unit under the Department of the Army responsible for sustaining military readiness across the Pacific region. She manages a diverse portfolio of mission-enabling contracts focused on facility maintenance, logistics support, and critical infrastructure services essential to operational continuity. Her acquisitions prioritize resilient energy systems, environmental compliance, and telecommunications infrastructure, ensuring installations remain fully functional and mission-ready. McKinney’s work directly supports the agency’s strategic objectives by securing non-complex, high-impact services that maintain day-to-day operational integrity without reliance on large-scale construction or major equipment procurement. She maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of regional and specialized contractors, including HAMASAKI CONSTRUCTION LLC, PHOENIX V LLC, SURECAN LLC, HONOLULU DISPOSAL SERVICE, INC., and PERRY MANAGEMENT CORP OF SOUTH DAKOTA, L.L.C. These partnerships reflect a preference for established, locally responsive vendors capable of delivering rapid turnaround on facility support, waste management, and technical services. Her contracting patterns emphasize reliability, regional familiarity, and proven performance over competitive bidding alone, indicating a mature, relationship-driven procurement approach tailored to the unique logistical challenges of Pacific theater operations. McKinney’s portfolio reflects a 100% no set-aside procurement strategy, indicating a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-aside mechanisms, her contracting actions remain compliant with all federal acquisition regulations and may still include small business vendors through unrestricted avenues. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561990 (All Other Support Services), encompassing facility operations and maintenance; NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), covering IT support and network services; and NAICS 488310 (Port and Harbor Operations), supporting maritime logistics infrastructure. This specialization underscores deep expertise in integrated, non-military construction support services critical to sustaining Army installations in remote and geographically complex environments.
