Kimberly Keck

Kimberly Ann Keck serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex procurement actions across a specialized portfolio of insurance and educational support services. In her role, she ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while executing full-life-cycle contract actions—from market research and solicitation development to award administration and closeout. Her work supports critical agency missions by securing high-integrity, mission-critical services through competitive and transparent contracting processes. Keck typically handles indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts, task order solicitations, and performance-based service acquisitions, with a strong emphasis on risk mitigation and contract performance oversight. Keck maintains professional relationships with a diverse pool of vendors specializing in insurance underwriting, health and life insurance operations, and educational support functions. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she routinely engages with firms possessing deep domain expertise in actuarial services, claims processing systems, and curriculum development support. Her contracting approach emphasizes fair competition, clear performance metrics, and vendor accountability, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in compliance and results-driven service delivery. Keck’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under non-set-aside authorities. She does not currently utilize 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic set-asides, instead prioritizing full and open competition to ensure the broadest possible access to qualified vendors. This approach aligns with agency-wide directives emphasizing efficiency and value, while still adhering to all small business outreach and reporting requirements under the Federal Acquisition Regulation. Her primary NAICS focus areas include Direct Life Insurance Carriers, Direct Health and Medical Insurance Carriers, and Educational Support Services, each representing approximately 28.6% of her activity, with Packing and Crating accounting for the remaining 14.3%. She specializes in procuring actuarial modeling services, insurance policy administration systems, student support services, and logistics packaging solutions, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with insurance underwriting frameworks and educational program implementation.
