Tiffany Diekemper

Tiffany Diekemper serves as a Contract Specialist within the Telecommunications Division (HC1013) of the Defense Information Systems Agency, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to secure and modernize the Department of Defense’s global communications infrastructure. She manages the full lifecycle of complex procurements for network modernization, secure virtual private networks, and interoperable telecom systems, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and defense-specific cybersecurity standards. Her portfolio emphasizes technical services that enhance resilience, scalability, and mission readiness across military and federal operations. Diekemper maintains consistent contracting 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 vendors are regularly engaged for high-assurance telecommunications engineering, fiber optic deployment, network integration, and managed services supporting DoD-wide connectivity requirements. Her working patterns reflect a preference for established contractors with proven expertise in secure infrastructure and rapid deployment capabilities, often leveraging indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and multiple-award contract vehicles to ensure agile responsiveness. Her procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with no socioeconomic set-asides applied to her awarded contracts. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical capability and mission urgency over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the Telecommunications Division’s mandate to prioritize performance, reliability, and rapid scalability in critical infrastructure projects. Diekemper’s primary focus lies in NAICS 541712 (Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences), where she procures advanced telecom R&D, network architecture design, and prototype testing services. She also regularly engages contractors under NAICS 541519 for custom software-defined networking solutions and NAICS 541611 for systems integration consulting. Her expertise centers on next-generation secure communications, fiber-based backhaul, and enterprise-grade telecom modernization initiatives.
