Cody R. Seelhoefer supports the Telecommunications Division (HC1013) of the Defense Information Systems Agency in managing critical telecommunications and information technology acquisitions that underpin the Department of Defense’s global communications infrastructure. Responsible for executing complex procurements under FAR and DFARS guidelines, he focuses on securing and modernizing secure network services, virtual private networks, and mission-critical telecom systems. His acquisitions prioritize resilience, interoperability, and cyber-hardened connectivity across military and federal operations, ensuring seamless communication capabilities for deployed forces and defense enterprises. Seelhoefer maintains sustained working relationships with leading telecommunications and systems integration contractors, including AT&T Technical Services Company, Inc., Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Liberty Communications, Inc., AOC Connect LLC, and Norfolk Fiber, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in secure fiber-optic deployment, enterprise-grade network architecture, and DoD-compliant telecom solutions. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, performance-based contracting, and technical compliance with DoD cybersecurity standards such as NIST SP 800-53 and RMF. His contracting activity is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 96.8% of awards issued under full and open competition, indicating a mission-driven focus on capability over socioeconomic preference. While small business participation is limited to 3.2%, it is strategically targeted to ensure competitive innovation without compromising operational readiness or system interoperability.
