Kimberly Janssen

Kimberly Janssen serves as a key procurement professional within the FA8552 AFLCMC WIU, a unit of the Department of the Air Force dedicated to sustaining and modernizing mission-critical aviation systems. She manages the acquisition of advanced aircraft manufacturing services and integrated avionics solutions essential to maintaining operational readiness of military air platforms. Her work centers on end-to-end contract lifecycle management for complex aerospace systems, ensuring compliance with defense acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with strategic modernization goals. She routinely handles sole-source and competitive contracts for airframe production, flight control systems, and mission-critical avionics upgrades, working closely with engineering and program management teams to translate technical requirements into enforceable contractual deliverables. While specific contractor names are not publicly enumerated, Janssen’s procurement pattern reflects deep engagement with Tier 1 aerospace prime contractors and specialized subsystem vendors possessing DoD-qualified manufacturing capabilities. Her working relationships emphasize technical proficiency, supply chain resilience, and adherence to military specifications such as MIL-STD and AS9100. She fosters collaborative vendor partnerships that prioritize innovation in aircraft sustainment, rapid prototyping, and digital thread integration across the production lifecycle. Janssen’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on accessing the broadest possible industrial base for high-complexity aircraft manufacturing, prioritizing technical capability and production scale over socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, she ensures all solicitations are structured to allow qualified small businesses to compete on technical merit. Her primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 336411—Aircraft Manufacturing—encompassing the design, integration, and production of military aircraft platforms and associated subsystems. She specializes in procuring advanced composite airframes, embedded flight systems, radar integration suites, and electronic warfare components, demonstrating deep familiarity with defense aerospace engineering standards and production quality assurance protocols.
