Althea A Kireilis

Althea A. Kireilis serves as Chief Procurement & Contract Management Office, overseeing the strategic planning, execution, and compliance of federal acquisitions within her organization. In this leadership capacity, she ensures procurement activities align with statutory requirements, agency mission objectives, and best practices in contract lifecycle management. Her portfolio primarily encompasses information technology services, technical consulting, and digital media solutions, with a focus on performance-based contracting and risk-mitigated acquisition strategies. She plays a pivotal role in shaping procurement policy, guiding contracting officers, and ensuring transparency and accountability across all procurement actions. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Kireilis maintains a broad network of vendor partnerships characterized by competitive solicitation practices and a preference for agile, results-driven service providers. Her office engages with firms capable of delivering complex technical solutions under performance-based service agreements, emphasizing quality, innovation, and compliance with federal acquisition regulations. Vendor relationships are cultivated through open competition, with a strong emphasis on market research and pre-solicitation engagement to ensure robust bidder participation. Kireilis demonstrates a clear commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 83.3% of her acquisitions conducted under full and open competition and 16.7% specifically set aside for HUBZone-certified small businesses. This pattern reflects a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for businesses located in economically distressed areas while maintaining competitive integrity. She does not currently utilize 8(a), SDVOSB, or WOSB set-asides, indicating a targeted, data-driven approach to small business inclusion focused on geographic equity. Her procurement focus is concentrated in three primary NAICS categories: 519130 (Other Telecommunications), 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services), and 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services). These reflect a specialization in digital infrastructure, systems integration, and technical advisory services. Kireilis consistently procures cloud-enabled solutions, data analytics platforms, and IT modernization services, demonstrating deep expertise in the evolving landscape of federal technology procurement.
