Kiley Widelitz

Kiley Widelitz serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA8823 Sustainment MCPNT SSC/PKL, a critical unit under the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining and modernizing aerospace and space-based defense systems. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for mission-critical infrastructure, including guided missile sustainment, satellite communications, and global positioning system modernization. Her expertise lies in executing complex, performance-based acquisitions that ensure operational readiness of national security assets, with a focus on technical services and logistics support contracts aligned with Air Force space and missile sustainment priorities. Widelitz collaborates with a diverse range of contractors specializing in aerospace logistics, systems integration, and defense consulting services. While no single vendor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms capable of delivering high-assurance technical support for classified and unclassified space and missile platforms. Her working relationships emphasize performance accountability, compliance with DFARS and FAR regulations, and the integration of sustainment solutions that extend system life cycles without compromising mission capability. Widelitz’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions designated as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic classifications, prioritizing mission-critical performance over mandatory small business set-asides. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her approach ensures the most qualified vendors—regardless of size—are selected based on technical competence and past performance. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 481212 (Nonscheduled Chartered Freight Air Transportation), reflecting the need for rapid, mission-essential transport of sensitive aerospace components, and NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services), underscoring her reliance on specialized systems engineering and program management support. She operates at the intersection of logistics, systems sustainment, and defense consulting, ensuring seamless integration of technical services that maintain the readiness of America’s space and missile infrastructure.
