Jason Kieffer

Jason Kieffer serves as a Contracting Officer within the FA2550 50 Cons Pkp unit of the Department of the Air Force, where he manages mission-critical procurement actions supporting aerospace and space domain capabilities. His portfolio focuses on acquiring advanced communications systems, precision instrumentation, and infrastructure essential for satellite operations and ground-based defense networks. Kieffer specializes in complex, technically demanding acquisitions that ensure the readiness and modernization of national security systems, often coordinating with engineering and logistics teams to align contract requirements with operational needs. His primary contractor relationships include the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment and Blue Skies Furniture LLC, reflecting a unique blend of public-sector and niche commercial vendors. While these entities may appear atypical for a defense contracting environment, their involvement suggests strategic use of non-traditional procurement pathways, potentially for facility support, specialized logistics, or indirect service contracts that enable mission continuity. Kieffer’s approach emphasizes flexibility and innovation in vendor selection, often leveraging non-traditional sources to meet urgent or specialized requirements. Kieffer demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 80% of his awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and 20% competed specifically under the 8(a) program. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to foster small business growth within the defense industrial base, prioritizing disadvantaged and socially and economically disadvantaged firms to build resilient supply chains. His contracting practices consistently align with Department of Defense mandates to expand small business participation in high-technology domains. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors) and 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), each accounting for 40% of his activity, indicating significant investment in facility and infrastructure modernization. An additional 20% is dedicated to engineering services under NAICS 541330, highlighting his expertise in technical oversight for mission-critical systems integration. Kieffer’s work bridges physical infrastructure and technical systems, ensuring that defense installations support next-generation aerospace operations.
