Anne K Keller

Anne K. Keller serves as a Contract Officer within the Telecommunications Division (HC1013) of the Defense Information Systems Agency, where she leads the acquisition of critical telecommunications and information technology services that underpin the Department of Defense’s global communications infrastructure. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of complex procurements—from requirements definition and market research to contract award and administration—ensuring alignment with DISA’s mission to secure, modernize, and scale resilient network systems. She routinely handles high-stakes acquisitions for network modernization, secure virtual private networks, and mission-critical IT services, emphasizing compliance with federal acquisition regulations and cybersecurity standards. Keller maintains established working relationships with a core group of trusted contractors, including AT&T Technical Services Company, Inc., AOC Connect LLC, Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Liberty Communications, Inc., and Norfolk Fiber, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in enterprise-grade telecom infrastructure, fiber-optic network deployment, and secure systems integration. Her contracting approach prioritizes performance-based outcomes, leveraging long-term vendor engagement to ensure operational continuity and technical interoperability across DoD networks. Her procurement portfolio shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the critical nature of national defense communications. While small business participation is not formally incentivized, she evaluates all vendors based on technical merit, past performance, and ability to meet stringent security and reliability requirements. Keller’s primary NAICS focus areas include 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), with significant activity in 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services) and 541611 (Management Consulting). She specializes in procuring secure network architecture, system integration, and technical advisory services essential to modernizing legacy telecom platforms and enabling seamless interoperability across joint military and federal operations.
