Princess J. Kendrick

Princess J. Kendrick serves as a key procurement lead within the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (FA8772), where she manages acquisitions critical to securing and modernizing digital infrastructure for air and space operations. Her role centers on procuring cyber-resilient identity and access management systems, public key infrastructure solutions, and integrated network engineering services that support mission-critical command and control environments. She oversees complex contracting actions involving technical services, systems integration, and automated resource management platforms, ensuring alignment with Department of the Air Force cybersecurity standards and lifecycle management priorities. Kendrick maintains a strong working relationship with IT-OSI-JV, LLC, a primary contractor delivering specialized IT and cybersecurity services. Her procurement approach emphasizes collaborative partnerships with vendors capable of delivering secure, scalable, and compliant digital solutions, often requiring adherence to NIST, FISMA, and DoD IAM frameworks. She consistently engages contractors with proven expertise in secure infrastructure deployment and has demonstrated a preference for vendors with demonstrated experience in federal cybermodernization initiatives. Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of procurements remain open to all competitors, she actively prioritizes opportunities for small businesses with demonstrated capabilities in IT services and systems design, reinforcing the Air Force’s mandate for broad vendor participation. Kendrick’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers), where she acquires custom identity management and access control software, complemented by NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services) for infrastructure integration and NAICS 541611 for management consulting supporting digital transformation initiatives. Her technical domain expertise spans secure identity ecosystems, PKI deployment, and automated financial systems, making her a pivotal figure in advancing the Air Force’s cyber-secure digital foundation.
