Ashley R Timmermann

Ashley R. Timmermann serves as a key procurement lead within the Telecommunications Division (HC1013) of the Defense Information Systems Agency, responsible for managing complex acquisitions that support the Department of Defense’s global communications infrastructure. She oversees the acquisition of mission-critical telecommunications and cybersecurity-enabled services, ensuring secure, high-capacity network connectivity across military and federal operations. Her portfolio focuses on modernizing legacy telecom systems, deploying encrypted virtual private networks, and enabling interoperable command and control environments through integrated IT and network services. Timmermann routinely handles full lifecycle contracting for engineering, systems design, and managed infrastructure services essential to DISA’s strategic modernization objectives. She maintains consistent working relationships with leading defense and commercial telecom providers, 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 preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in secure network engineering, fiber optic deployment, and enterprise-grade telecommunications integration. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical rigor, performance-based outcomes, and long-term operational sustainment, often resulting in multi-year task order agreements under GWACs and IDIQ vehicles. Timmermann’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on maximizing technical capability and vendor diversity rather than socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with the Telecommunications Division’s priority for mission-critical performance and rapid deployment at scale. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services) and 541712 (R&D in Physical and Engineering Sciences), with significant activity in systems design, facilities management, and other computer-related services. She specializes in acquiring advanced networking solutions, secure cloud-enabled telecom architectures, and mission-specific software development tailored to DoD operational requirements, demonstrating deep expertise in secure communications systems and infrastructure modernization.
