Aleksandra Skoric

Aleksandra Skoric supports the Federal Aviation Administration’s 693KA7 Enroute & Terminal Contracts unit in procuring critical modernization programs for the National Airspace System. She manages complex acquisitions for advanced air traffic control infrastructure, including next-generation navigation, surveillance, and automation systems that replace legacy radar and control platforms. Her work ensures the safety, efficiency, and resilience of en route and terminal air traffic operations through technically rigorous contract vehicles aligned with FAA’s long-term modernization roadmap. She handles full lifecycle procurements—from market research and solicitation development to award and contract administration—for high-stakes, mission-critical systems. Her primary contractor relationships center on SAAB INC, a key partner in delivering advanced surveillance and automation solutions for air traffic management. She collaborates with a select group of Tier 1 defense and aerospace contractors specializing in avionics, real-time data processing, and integrated control systems. These partnerships are typically formed through competitive sealed bidding and performance-based contract structures, emphasizing technical innovation, systems integration, and lifecycle sustainment. Skoric’s procurement activity reflects a strong preference for unrestricted competition, with 100% of awards issued under non-set-aside conditions. There is no current emphasis on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, indicating a focus on technical capability and system interoperability over socioeconomic preferences. This approach aligns with the high-complexity nature of air traffic modernization projects, where specialized expertise and proven system performance take precedence. Her procurement focus is dominated by NAICS 334511 for aeronautical system and instrument manufacturing, complemented by significant activity in engineering services (541330) and physical sciences R&D (541715). She consistently acquires radar modernization hardware, ADS-B transponders, precision approach systems, and software-defined control platforms, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with NextGen and SESAR-compatible technologies.
