SSgt Anderson

SSgt Kaylie Anderson serves as a secondary contracting support specialist within the 21st Construction Battalion at FA2517, supporting the Department of the Air Force’s mission to modernize critical infrastructure and enhance operational readiness. She assists in the planning, solicitation, and administration of acquisitions for mission-critical facility systems, including electronic communication networks, fire safety upgrades, and precision instrumentation. Her role ensures alignment with Air Force infrastructure resilience goals by facilitating timely procurement of technically complex goods and services that sustain base operations and enable secure, high-performance environments. She typically handles moderate-complexity contracts requiring compliance with defense-specific technical standards and regulatory frameworks. Anderson maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including ASTERI CONSULTING SERVICES LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, ARHAB LLC, and PRIMEPRO BUSINESS SOLUTIONS LLC. These partnerships span construction, systems integration, and specialized manufacturing sectors, reflecting a balanced approach to both service and product-based procurements. Her collaboration patterns emphasize vendor reliability, technical proficiency, and adherence to federal construction and IT security protocols, fostering long-term contractor engagement grounded in performance accountability. A strong advocate for small business participation, Anderson consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Aside contracts under FAR 19.5, with approximately 60% of her procurement actions designated for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate a diverse supplier base and enhance competition among qualified vendors, particularly those capable of delivering specialized electronic, construction, and facility systems. While no set-aside preferences for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB are dominant, her portfolio demonstrates broad-based small business inclusion aligned with Air Force socioeconomic objectives. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS categories including 334111 (Electronic Computer Manufacturing), 513210 (Software Publishers), and 334515 (Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring Electrical Signals), with additional emphasis on 332311 (Prefabricated Metal Buildings) and 337215 (Showcase and Locker Manufacturing). She procures integrated electronic systems, custom software solutions, test instrumentation, and modular facility components essential to sustaining Air Force infrastructure, demonstrating technical fluency in defense-grade hardware and facility modernization domains.
