Jim Kiesling serves as a Customer Account Manager within GSA FAS AAS Region 4, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical technology acquisitions for federal agencies under the Federal Acquisition Service. Responsible for managing end-to-end procurement cycles, he specializes in securing integrated computing solutions, software development services, and facilities support systems essential to defense, aviation, and command-and-control operations. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to modernize federal IT infrastructure through agile, secure, and scalable technical acquisitions, ensuring alignment with national security and operational readiness objectives. Kiesling maintains a strong working relationship with AMD International Technologies LLC, a key contractor delivering advanced IT systems and engineering support. His procurement approach emphasizes collaborative vendor partnerships, fostering long-term engagement with contractors capable of delivering complex, mission-aligned solutions. He actively coordinates with vendors to ensure compliance with federal standards, timely delivery of technical services, and adaptability to evolving operational requirements across high-priority federal domains. His contracting patterns reflect a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with equal portions of awards directed toward 8(a) competed set-asides and open, non-set-aside competitions. This demonstrates a deliberate strategy to promote small business participation—particularly 8(a)-certified firms—while maintaining flexibility to source the most capable solutions from the broader market. His approach underscores GSA’s mandate to leverage small business innovation without compromising mission performance. Kiesling’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services) and 561210 (Facilities Support Services), reflecting deep expertise in systems integration, IT infrastructure modernization, and operational support services. He regularly acquires software development, cybersecurity-enabled platforms, data center support, and technical staffing solutions tailored to federal mission environments, ensuring that acquired capabilities meet stringent performance, interoperability, and compliance standards.
