Jeremy Kozee

Jeremy Kozee serves as a key procurement professional within the It Contracting Division - PL83 of the Defense Information Systems Agency, where he supports the acquisition of mission-critical IT services and software solutions essential to sustaining and modernizing DoD information systems. His responsibilities encompass managing the full lifecycle of contracts for secure communication platforms, cybersecurity enhancements, and legacy infrastructure modernization initiatives. Kozee specializes in complex, performance-based acquisitions that require rigorous technical evaluation and compliance with DoD cybersecurity frameworks such as NIST SP 800-53 and RMF. He works closely with technical stakeholders to translate operational requirements into solicitation language that ensures vendor accountability and system interoperability across joint command environments. Kozee maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse range of defense IT contractors, including systems integrators, cybersecurity specialists, and software development firms with proven expertise in DoD environments. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, his contracting patterns reflect a preference for vendors with demonstrated experience in secure cloud migration, zero-trust architecture implementation, and mission-critical application sustainment. His approach emphasizes vendor performance metrics, past performance evaluations, and technical compliance over price alone, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in reliability and mission alignment. Kozee’s procurement activity is entirely focused on full and open competition, with no set-asides applied to his acquisitions. This reflects the mission-critical nature of the systems he procures, where speed, scalability, and interoperability often outweigh socioeconomic preferences. His approach prioritizes technical capability and operational readiness over socioeconomic targeting, aligning with the agency’s mandate to maintain uninterrupted defense IT capabilities. His primary technical focus lies in NAICS categories related to custom software development, systems integration, cybersecurity services, and enterprise IT infrastructure support. He routinely procures solutions involving secure DevSecOps pipelines, automated patch management, identity and access management systems, and hardened computing environments tailored to classified and unclassified DoD networks.
