Kellie Holley

Kellie Holley serves as a secondary procurement support specialist within the Commander (M00264) under the Department of the Navy, contributing to the acquisition of mission-critical technologies that sustain naval warfighting readiness. While not the primary contracting officer, she plays a vital role in facilitating the planning, solicitation, and administration of complex contracts for advanced computing systems, cyber-enabled command and control architectures, and tactical sensor platforms. Her work ensures alignment with the agency’s strategic priorities in modernizing naval operations through integrated systems engineering and rapid capability deployment, often supporting high-priority, time-sensitive procurements across technical domains requiring specialized expertise. Holley maintains consistent engagement with a core group of contractors including GoldBelt Hawk L.L.C., Alex-Alternative Experts, LLC, Tnda Technologies Inc., BC Market Solutions LLC, and Biospace, Inc., each bringing niche capabilities in systems integration, technical advisory services, and mission support. These partnerships reflect a preference for agile, non-traditional vendors capable of delivering rapid prototyping, software-defined solutions, and tailored engineering services under tight operational timelines. Her procurement patterns suggest close collaboration with firms possessing deep domain knowledge in naval platforms and defense IT ecosystems. Her contracting activity reflects a strong emphasis on small business participation, with over half of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding access for small, innovative vendors. A minor but consistent portion supports service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, reflecting alignment with broader DoD socioeconomic goals. The predominance of no-set-aside awards indicates flexibility to leverage large-capability providers when specialized expertise or scale is required. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), indicating heavy reliance on systems engineering, cybersecurity, and data analytics support. Secondary areas include niche manufacturing sectors such as apparel accessories and chemical preparations, suggesting procurement for specialized protective gear or mission-specific chemical applications. Her technical domain expertise centers on cyber-enabled decision support, tactical computing, and integrated sensor systems critical to naval operational superiority.
