A staunch advocate for small business participation, Kelley consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with approximately 80% of his acquisitions structured to maximize opportunities for small businesses. His socioeconomic contracting approach emphasizes inclusive competition, ensuring broad access for small firms while maintaining rigorous performance standards. He actively promotes fair and transparent procurement practices that align with DoD small business goals and enhance vendor diversity across the supply chain.
