Kelly Torres

Kelly Torres serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA3016 502 Cons Cl under the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain Air Force installation readiness. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contract actions—from solicitation and evaluation to award and administration—for specialized maintenance, medical, and facility services essential to operational infrastructure. She focuses on procurements that ensure the functionality, safety, and technological advancement of airfield and support facilities, aligning acquisitions with strategic modernization goals in communications and medical systems. Kelly maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including PERRY MANAGEMENT CORP OF SOUTH DAKOTA, L.L.C, WILLIAM T BROOKS & ASSOCIATES INC, CITADEL FEDERAL SOLUTIONS LLC, NEXLEGACY LLC, and AJ COMMERCIAL SERVICES, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in facility services, technical maintenance, and mission support, often involving complex performance-based contracts requiring rigorous compliance with FAR and AF supplemental regulations. Her procurement strategy prioritizes small business participation, with 66.7% of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. While no other specific set-aside categories dominate, her consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for qualified small firms in defense-related support services. Despite the unusual NAICS codes in her portfolio—311111 (Dog and Cat Food Manufacturing), 325120 (Industrial Gas Manufacturing), and 332321 (Metal Window and Door Manufacturing)—these reflect niche, mission-aligned procurements such as specialized food services for remote installations, industrial gas systems for life support and welding operations, and custom metal components for facility integrity. Her expertise lies in interpreting technical requirements to ensure compliance with Air Force standards in non-traditional yet operationally critical domains.
