Anne K Keller

Anne K. Keller serves as a Contract Specialist within the Telecommunications Division (HC1013) of the Defense Information Systems Agency, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to secure and modernize the Department of Defense’s global communications infrastructure. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on network modernization, secure virtual private networks, and resilient telecom systems, ensuring interoperability across military and federal operations. Her work directly supports DISA’s mandate to sustain high-capacity, encrypted, and mission-ready communications, requiring deep expertise in complex IT and engineering service procurements under FAR and DFARS guidelines. Keller maintains consistent procurement relationships with key industry partners including AT&T Technical Services Company, Inc., Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Liberty Communications, Inc., AOC Connect LLC, and Norfolk Fiber, LLC. These partnerships reflect a strategic emphasis on vendors with proven capabilities in fiber-optic network deployment, secure telecom integration, and enterprise-level systems design. Her contracting approach prioritizes performance-based outcomes, leveraging both large prime contractors and specialized niche providers to deliver scalable, secure infrastructure solutions aligned with DoD standards. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a balanced commitment to socioeconomic programs, with nearly 42% of awards directed toward small business set-asides, including Total Small Business, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), and 8(a) competed contracts. While the majority of procurements remain open competition, her consistent use of SDVOSB and 8(a) mechanisms underscores a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for underserved veteran- and minority-owned firms within the defense telecom ecosystem. Keller’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), reflecting her specialization in network architecture, cybersecurity-enabled telecom systems, and custom integration services. She frequently procures engineering and programming services critical to legacy system modernization, cloud-enabled communications platforms, and mission-critical network maintenance, demonstrating deep technical fluency in DoD telecommunications domains.
