Kathleen A. Kissinger serves as a key procurement professional within the FA4528 5 Cons unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize critical infrastructure across Air Force installations. Her work centers on facility construction, building systems integration, and operational support services, with a focus on electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, and structural construction for commercial, institutional, and industrial facilities.
