Kyle P. Cadwallader

Kyle P. Cadwallader serves as a Contract Specialist within the Telecommunications Division (HC1013) of the Defense Information Systems Agency, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to secure and modernize the Department of Defense’s global communications infrastructure. He manages the full lifecycle of contracts for network modernization, secure virtual private networks, and resilient telecom systems, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and aligning procurements with DISA’s strategic objectives for interoperability and cyber resilience. His portfolio primarily encompasses complex IT and telecommunications services requiring high assurance and rapid deployment capabilities. Cadwallader maintains established working relationships with key industry partners including AT&T Technical Services Company, Inc., Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Liberty Communications, Inc., AOC Connect LLC, and Norfolk Fiber, LLC. These contractors provide specialized capabilities in fiber-optic network deployment, secure communications hardware, and integrated telecom solutions. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, performance-based contracting, and technical validation to ensure mission readiness across distributed military environments. His contracting patterns reflect a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and nearly one-sixth reserved for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. While half of his acquisitions remain open to all competitors, his consistent use of SDVOSB and small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate effort to broaden participation from qualified niche providers within the defense telecom ecosystem. His primary NAICS focus areas include Security Systems Services (561621), Computer Systems Design Services (541512), and Other Computer Related Services (541519), reflecting his specialization in secure network architecture, cybersecurity-enabled telecom systems, and mission-critical IT integration. He also routinely procures specialized audio/video equipment (334310) and infrastructure services (238220) to support secure command, control, and communication environments across DoD installations.
