Ursula Hoermann

Ursula Hoermann serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex acquisitions within the energy infrastructure sector, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and advancing mission-critical utility services. She oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and performance monitoring—primarily supporting electric and natural gas distribution systems. Her work is central to securing reliable, safe, and efficient energy delivery infrastructure, often involving technical specifications for grid modernization, metering systems, pipeline maintenance, and regulatory compliance tools. Hoermann’s acquisitions are strategically aligned with national energy resilience objectives, requiring deep familiarity with engineering standards and utility operational requirements. Her contractor relationships are characterized by engagement with established utilities contractors, engineering services firms, and specialized infrastructure providers experienced in energy distribution systems. She works closely with vendors capable of delivering turnkey solutions for transmission and distribution networks, including automation, cybersecurity for SCADA systems, and asset management platforms. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently partners with firms possessing proven technical capability and demonstrated performance in regulated utility environments. Hoermann’s procurement pattern reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued without set-aside designations. This indicates a focus on technical merit and operational readiness over socioeconomic classifications, though she remains compliant with all small business participation requirements under FAR Part 19. Her approach prioritizes capability and reliability, ensuring that procurement decisions are driven by performance outcomes rather than socioeconomic targeting. Her primary NAICS focus is on Electric Power Distribution (221122) and Natural Gas Distribution (221210), underscoring her expertise in procuring services and equipment critical to maintaining and modernizing energy distribution networks. She specializes in acquisitions involving substations, transformers, distribution lines, gas metering systems, leak detection technologies, and regulatory reporting platforms, demonstrating deep domain knowledge in utility infrastructure procurement.
