Caitlin Huff

Caitlin Huff serves as a key procurement lead within the It Contracting Division - PL83 of the Defense Information Systems Agency, supporting the Department of Defense’s mission to sustain and modernize critical defense information systems. She manages the acquisition of mission-critical IT services, including cybersecurity enhancements, legacy system modernization, and scalable software platform deployments. Her portfolio centers on ensuring secure, interoperable communications and computing environments for defense operations, with a focus on contract vehicles that enable rapid response to evolving operational needs. She routinely handles complex, performance-based solicitations under FAR Part 12 and Part 37, prioritizing agile development and zero-trust architecture integration. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly enumerated, Huff engages with a diverse ecosystem of vendors delivering IT systems design, custom software development, and mission support services. Her procurement patterns reflect a balanced approach between large-capability prime contractors and innovative small businesses, fostering competitive bidding and technical agility. She maintains a collaborative contracting environment, emphasizing outcome-driven requirements and continuous service delivery under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and other flexible contract types. Huff demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with half of her acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and the other half open to all competitors. This balanced strategy ensures broad market participation while actively promoting opportunities for small disadvantaged businesses, HUBZone firms, and other qualified small entities. Her approach aligns with DoD mandates to expand small business access to high-impact defense IT contracts. Her primary NAICS focus includes Computer Systems Design Services (541512) and Other Computer Related Services (541519), reflecting deep expertise in enterprise IT architecture, cloud migration, and systems integration. While occasional procurements for office furniture and landscaping appear in her portfolio, these are ancillary to her core mission of delivering secure, resilient defense IT infrastructure.
