Alliant leader. Kelley was a major force behind GSA’s next-generation contracting vehicle that will likely be a keystone in the federal government’s IT modernization plans. Kelley led the effort to take government/industry collaboration to a new level. Under his leadership, GSA’s Alliant 2 showcased several key enhancements and updates, including flexibility as technologies and the definition of IT evolve, ancillary non-IT support when it is integral to the IT services-based outcome, and provisions that ensure a highly qualified and competitive pool of contractors. GSA awarded the 15-year, $50 billion contract to 61 contractors in November.
