Jason A Kieffer

Jason A. Kieffer serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA5270 18 Cons Pk unit of the Department of the Air Force, where he plays a pivotal role in securing mission-critical services and equipment to sustain airfield operations and facility integrity across Indo-Pacific installations. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of procurement—from solicitation and source selection to contract administration—ensuring compliance with federal regulations while supporting rapid response capabilities for airfield damage repair, grounds maintenance, and infrastructure resilience. Kieffer primarily manages acquisitions for technical, logistical, and security-enabling services essential to force projection and operational continuity. Kieffer maintains established working relationships with key contractors including GILBANE JAPAN GK and KYUNAN CO., LTD., both of which provide specialized facilities management, engineering support, and operational maintenance services tailored to military infrastructure needs. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-based partnerships with experienced, regionally embedded vendors capable of delivering responsive, high-reliability solutions under austere conditions. These relationships are characterized by consistent recompetition and performance-based contract modifications, underscoring a focus on reliability and mission alignment over transactional procurement. Kieffer’s procurement portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on maximizing capability and readiness through access to the broadest possible pool of qualified vendors, particularly those with proven expertise in complex, geographically dispersed military environments. While small business participation is not formally prioritized, all acquisitions adhere strictly to FAR compliance and competitive fairness standards. His primary NAICS focus includes 423430 for computer and peripheral equipment procurement, 928110 for national security-related services, and niche categories such as 621399 and 424920, indicating a diverse portfolio spanning IT infrastructure, security systems, and specialized logistical support. Kieffer’s expertise lies in integrating commercial off-the-shelf technology with mission-specific requirements to ensure operational readiness across dynamic theater environments.
