Kimberly Conley

Kimberly Conley serves as a key procurement professional within the FA8600 AFLCMC PK organization under the Department of the Air Force, supporting the modernization of secure, scalable data architectures critical to air and space domain superiority. She manages acquisitions centered on computing infrastructure, data processing, and web hosting services that enable mission-critical cyber-enabled capabilities, including initiatives such as Project Hydra and Project Night Owl. Her work ensures the timely delivery of resilient, classified, and cloud-native systems that meet stringent DoD cybersecurity standards, aligning procurement strategy with the agency’s mission to sustain technological advantage in contested domains. Conley collaborates with a diverse range of contractors specializing in secure data infrastructure, cybersecurity services, and mission-critical software integration. While specific vendor relationships are not publicly enumerated, her contracting patterns indicate consistent engagement with firms capable of delivering FedRAMP-authorized cloud solutions, hardened server environments, and zero-trust architecture components. She fosters partnerships with vendors possessing Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) clearances and those certified under DoD SRG or NIST SP 800-53 compliance frameworks. Her procurement approach reflects a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly 39% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This demonstrates a deliberate effort to expand the industrial base by engaging qualified small businesses in technical service delivery, particularly in cybersecurity and data operations. While no other socioeconomic set-asides are predominant, her portfolio consistently prioritizes small business inclusion as a strategic enabler of innovation and resilience. Conley’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561621 for security systems services, reflecting demand for cyber defense and access control infrastructure, alongside niche requirements in data center operations and secure hosting. She also supports specialized procurements in industrial manufacturing and medical laboratory systems, indicating cross-domain integration needs. Her technical expertise centers on secure computing environments, data lifecycle management, and compliance with DoD Information Assurance standards.
