Consuelo Kiser

Consuelo Kiser serves as a key procurement lead within the FA8307 Aflcmc Hnck C3IN unit of the Department of the Air Force, supporting the modernization of secure command, control, communications, intelligence, and cyber (C3I) systems for air and space operations. She manages the acquisition of mission-critical software platforms, cyber defense tools, and resilient computing infrastructure designed to enable real-time decision-making and operational superiority. Her work directly advances the agency’s strategic priorities in cyber resilience, network modernization, and mission-critical system integration, ensuring that procurement aligns with DoD cybersecurity standards and agile development frameworks. Kiser maintains a consistent working relationship with AANTILIA LLC, a trusted contractor specializing in advanced cyber operations and mission systems integration. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical expertise, compliance with NIST and DoD RMF requirements, and proven performance in secure software development environments. She routinely engages with contractors capable of delivering classified and controlled unclassified information (CUI) solutions under strict ITAR and DFARS compliance. Her contracting portfolio reflects a strong commitment to small business participation, with 55% of awards designated for total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, supplemented by a 5% HUBZone focus. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to cultivate innovation from emerging defense technology vendors while ensuring broad socioeconomic inclusion in high-stakes cyber acquisitions. Despite the agency’s advanced technical mission, Kiser’s NAICS focus includes unexpected categories such as hotels, parking services, and laboratory instrument manufacturing—indicative of ancillary or facility-related procurements that support operational infrastructure. However, her core expertise lies in securing cyber-enabled systems, analytical instrumentation, and mission support technologies critical to C3I modernization, demonstrating a nuanced understanding of both direct and indirect procurement needs in a high-tempo defense environment.
