Jennifer Kleiv

Jennifer Kleiv serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA8601 Aflcmc Pzio under the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in securing mission-critical aerospace and defense instrumentation. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for high-precision analytical equipment, electromedical devices, and industrial measurement systems essential to flight testing, fuel analysis, and environmental monitoring. Her work directly supports airpower readiness by ensuring timely acquisition of laboratory-grade instruments and specialized electrotherapeutic systems used in operational and R&D environments. Kleiv specializes in complex technical acquisitions requiring rigorous compliance with federal acquisition regulations and technical specification validation. Kleiv maintains a consistent working relationship with C MARTIN CO INC, a trusted vendor with deep expertise in delivering calibrated analytical and measurement systems. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, leveraging established performance histories to mitigate risk and ensure technical fidelity. She engages with a select pool of qualified suppliers capable of meeting stringent military and aerospace standards, prioritizing reliability, traceability, and certification compliance in supplier selection. Kleiv demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over half of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster innovation and capacity within the small business industrial base, particularly among firms with specialized capabilities in scientific instrumentation and precision manufacturing. Her contracting patterns consistently prioritize socioeconomic programs that expand opportunities for small disadvantaged and veteran-owned businesses aligned with technical mission needs. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and 334511 (Aeronautical Instrument Manufacturing), reflecting expertise in acquiring precision measurement and flight-test instrumentation. She also frequently engages with firms in research and development services (541712) and industrial furnace manufacturing (333994), underscoring her technical fluency across aerospace, environmental, and electrotherapeutic domains. Kleiv’s work ensures the Air Force maintains cutting-edge capabilities through strategically sourced, mission-critical hardware and services.
