Kendra Casebolt

Kendra Casebolt serves as a key secondary procurement contact within the Technology Acquisition Center NJ, supporting the Department of Veterans Affairs’ mission to modernize enterprise IT infrastructure. She facilitates the acquisition of mission-critical technology solutions that enhance clinical care delivery, administrative efficiency, and cybersecurity across the national VA network. Her responsibilities include supporting the planning, solicitation, and administration of complex IT service contracts, with a focus on enterprise software modernization, systems integration, and data platform development. While not the primary contracting officer, she plays a vital role in ensuring alignment with VA’s strategic technology priorities and regulatory compliance throughout the acquisition lifecycle. Casebolt maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of high-performing contractors, including Palantir Technologies Inc., AMD International Technologies LLC, Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Greenbrier Government Solutions Inc., and Thundercat Technology, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in data analytics, cloud-enabled systems, cybersecurity infrastructure, and mission-critical application development. Her engagement patterns suggest a reliance on established contractors with deep federal experience, particularly those capable of delivering scalable, interoperable solutions under stringent security requirements. Her procurement activity shows a strong preference for open competition, with 83.3% of acquisitions issued without set-aside designations. The remaining 16.7% are reserved for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, underscoring a targeted but limited commitment to socioeconomic programs aligned with VA’s veteran-centric mission. While small business participation is not the primary focus, it is strategically applied where capabilities align with technical needs. The majority of her acquisitions fall under NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), reflecting a dominant focus on managed IT services, systems support, and custom software development. A secondary emphasis on NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services) indicates involvement in architecture planning and technical integration projects. Her work centers on securing advanced digital solutions that support VA’s transition to secure, cloud-based, and data-driven operations.
