Kelli S. Schwendt

Kelli S. Schwendt serves as a primary contracting professional within the FA8903 organization of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing acquisition strategies that sustain and modernize critical Air Force infrastructure. Her role centers on executing contracts for environmental remediation, facility engineering, and mission-critical construction services that ensure installation resilience and regulatory compliance. She handles a diverse portfolio of procurement actions aligned with the agency’s mandate to maintain operational readiness through integrated environmental, architectural, and engineering support, often coordinating with technical stakeholders to define performance-based requirements and ensure adherence to federal environmental standards. While specific contractor relationships are not currently documented in the acquisition record, Schwendt’s procurement activity reflects engagement with a broad spectrum of service providers specializing in real estate support and recreation infrastructure, indicating a pattern of collaboration with both large-scale contractors and niche specialty firms capable of delivering complex, site-specific solutions. Her working relationships are characterized by a focus on technical capability, regulatory alignment, and performance accountability rather than exclusive vendor partnerships. Schwendt’s contracting portfolio exhibits a 100% preference for non-set-aside acquisitions, indicating a strategic emphasis on full and open competition. There is no documented use of socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, suggesting her current acquisitions prioritize technical merit and capacity over socioeconomic targeting, though this may evolve with mission shifts or policy updates. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 713990 (All Other Amusement and Recreation Industries) and 531390 (Other Activities Related to Real Estate), reflecting procurement for recreational facility maintenance, land management services, and real estate support functions tied to Air Force installations. These categories underscore her expertise in acquiring services that support quality-of-life infrastructure and land-use compliance, blending environmental stewardship with operational sustainability in military community settings.
