Kellie Buck

Kellie Buck serves as a Contract Specialist at Washington Headquarters Services (WHS), supporting the Department of Defense’s mission to streamline administrative and operational functions through strategic procurement. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of acquisition actions, from requirements validation and market research to contract award and administration, ensuring compliance with federal regulations and DoD policies. Her portfolio primarily encompasses professional services contracts aligned with enterprise modernization, institutional management, and infrastructure support, focusing on delivering high-value, mission-enabling solutions across DoD components. Kellie maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including CLARITY INNOVATIONS LLC, CYNERGY PROFESSIONAL SYSTEMS LLC, SIGNATURE RENOVATIONS LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, and GUIDEHOUSE INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established service providers with proven expertise in management consulting, facilities operations, and administrative support. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and rigorous contract oversight to ensure deliverables align with WHS’s strategic objectives. While the majority of her acquisitions—approximately 90%—are conducted under full and open competition, Kellie demonstrates a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic programs, with roughly 10% of her awards designated for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs). This pattern reflects a balanced approach that prioritizes efficiency while actively supporting veteran-owned enterprises within the defense services ecosystem. Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services), which accounts for half of her activity, followed by facilities support (561210) and office administrative services (561110). She also regularly procures accounting services (541211) and recreational facility operations (713940), demonstrating broad expertise in institutional support domains critical to DoD’s internal enterprise functions.
