Stephen S. Kelly

Stephen S. Kelly serves as a Contracting Officer with the FA3016 502 Cons Cl under the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing mission-critical procurement actions that sustain Air Force installation readiness. He specializes in acquiring specialized facility maintenance, medical support services, and communications infrastructure to ensure operational continuity and technological modernization. His portfolio includes complex service contracts requiring technical compliance with DoD standards, often involving performance-based acquisition strategies and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms to support dynamic, long-term operational needs. Kelly maintains established working relationships with a core group of contractors including PERRY MANAGEMENT CORP OF SOUTH DAKOTA, L.L.C, WILLIAM T BROOKS & ASSOCIATES INC, CITADEL FEDERAL SOLUTIONS LLC, NEXLEGACY LLC, and AJ COMMERCIAL SERVICES, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, non-traditional vendors capable of delivering integrated facility and medical support solutions under performance-based service contracts. His procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, past performance, and technical capability over cost alone, fostering stable, long-term contractor engagements. His contracting patterns show a strong preference for open competition, with 90.9% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, indicating a focus on maximizing competition and capability rather than socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation remains a secondary priority at 9.1%, it is consistently aligned with Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a measured but compliant approach to socioeconomic goals. Kelly’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers), supporting digital infrastructure and communications systems, alongside specialized services under 339112 (Medical Instrument Manufacturing) and 621999 (Miscellaneous Ambulatory Health Care Services). His expertise lies in acquiring integrated technical services that bridge facility operations, medical logistics, and IT modernization, requiring deep familiarity with DoD acquisition regulations and performance metrics for mission-critical environments.
