Kailee Rule

Kailee Ann Rule serves as a Contract Specialist within the Telecommunications Division (HC1013) of the Defense Information Systems Agency, where she plays a pivotal role in procuring mission-critical telecommunications and IT services that sustain the Department of Defense’s global communications infrastructure. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of complex acquisitions—from requirements validation and market research to contract award and administration—ensuring alignment with DISA’s strategic goals of network modernization, secure connectivity, and interoperability across military and federal systems. She routinely handles performance-based, service-oriented contracts for network engineering, cybersecurity-enabled telecom solutions, and cloud-enabled communications platforms. Kailee maintains established working relationships with key industry partners including AT&T Technical Services Company, Inc., Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Liberty Communications, Inc., AOC Connect LLC, and Norfolk Fiber, LLC. These contractors provide specialized expertise in secure fiber-optic deployment, virtual private network architecture, and enterprise-grade telecom integration. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance outcomes, technical compliance, and long-term service reliability, fostering collaborative, results-driven vendor partnerships that support DISA’s operational resilience objectives. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted under open, non-set-aside competitions (75%), Kailee consistently integrates socioeconomic programs into her portfolio, allocating 12.5% each to 8(a) competed and Total Small Business Set-Aside contracts under FAR 19.5. This balanced approach reflects a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for qualified small businesses while maintaining mission readiness through proven capabilities. Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services) and 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), reflecting deep specialization in network design, systems integration, and managed telecom services. She frequently acquires custom network solutions, secure data transport systems, and interoperable communication platforms that enable secure, high-capacity connectivity across distributed DoD environments.
