Kelley J. Fitzsimmons serves as a Contracting Officer at the Headquarters of Air Combat Command’s Acquisition Management Integration Center (FA4890), where she plays a pivotal role in securing mission-critical capabilities that sustain and modernize air dominance systems. Her portfolio centers on procuring advanced training systems, command and control infrastructure, and technical services essential to pilot readiness, surveillance, and tactical communications. As a key acquisition lead within the Department of the Air Force, she executes full lifecycle contracting actions under FAR and DFARS, ensuring alignment with operational requirements and national defense priorities. Fitzsimmons maintains consistent working relationships with specialized contractors including VETPRIDE-EMI MAINTENANCE SOLUTIONS, LLC, MILTRAIN JV II LLC, and JBW FEDITC JV LLC, all of which provide integrated training solutions, simulation systems, and mission support services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and long-term vendor partnerships, often leveraging joint venture structures to deliver complex, multi-disciplinary capabilities. She prioritizes contractors with proven expertise in defense-specific training environments and secure technical infrastructure.

Her socioeconomic contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach: prioritizing mission effectiveness while actively engaging qualified small businesses in niche technical domains. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers), accounting for over half of her portfolio, followed by engineering services (541330) and computing infrastructure providers (518210). She specializes in procuring mission-critical software, simulation platforms, data processing systems, and integrated training environments that directly enhance Air Combat Command’s operational readiness and digital warfare capabilities.
