Keith E. Lee II

Keith E. Lee II serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA8672 Aflcmc Ebdm under the Department of the Air Force, where he plays a critical role in executing procurements for precision-guided munitions and advanced weapon system technologies. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contract actions—from requirements validation and market research to solicitation development, source selection, and contract award—ensuring alignment with national defense priorities. He specializes in acquiring high-demand ordnance systems, particularly those related to the Small Diameter Bomb (SDB) family and next-generation munitions, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain air dominance through technological modernization and logistical readiness. Lee’s contractor relationships are primarily with Tier 1 defense primes and specialized ammunition manufacturers possessing the technical capability to meet stringent military specifications for explosive ordnance. He engages with a select pool of qualified vendors experienced in high-precision manufacturing, explosives handling, and systems integration for air-launched weapons. His working pattern emphasizes rigorous technical compliance, performance-based contracting, and long-term sustainment partnerships to ensure reliability and interoperability across operational platforms. Lee’s procurement portfolio reflects a strict focus on non-set-aside acquisitions, with 100% of his contracts awarded under full and open competition. While he does not prioritize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his approach ensures that all awards are grounded in technical superiority and mission-critical capability, consistent with the high-stakes nature of ordnance procurement. His primary NAICS focus is 332993—Ammunition (except Small Arms) Manufacturing—reflecting deep expertise in the procurement of guided bomb components, warhead systems, fuzing mechanisms, and associated propulsion and guidance technologies. Lee’s domain knowledge encompasses explosive chemistry, munitions reliability testing, and defense industrial base sustainment, making him a key steward in maintaining the Air Force’s strategic advantage in precision strike capabilities.
