David Kors

David Kors serves as a key procurement lead within the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (N61340), overseeing the acquisition of advanced training systems essential to naval aviation readiness. His role centers on managing engineering services contracts that support the development, modernization, and sustainment of immersive flight simulators, tactical combat training environments, and mission-critical avionics infrastructure. Kors ensures alignment with the Department of the Navy’s strategic priorities by procuring solutions that enhance pilot and aircrew proficiency through high-fidelity simulation and integrated training architectures. He routinely handles complex, technology-driven acquisitions under the full and open competition framework, prioritizing technical excellence and operational interoperability across naval aviation platforms. Kors maintains a focused contractor base, with STRACON SERVICES GROUP, LLC and FLIGHTSAFETY INTERNATIONAL INC as primary partners. These relationships reflect a reliance on industry leaders with deep expertise in aviation training systems, simulation software development, and curriculum-integrated hardware engineering. His contracting pattern emphasizes long-term, performance-based engagements with vendors capable of delivering end-to-end training system lifecycle support—from requirements analysis and prototype development to fielding and sustainment. Kors consistently selects contractors with proven capabilities in defense-grade simulation standards and systems integration. There is no set-aside preference in Kors’s procurement portfolio; all acquisitions are conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven emphasis on securing the highest technical capability available, regardless of vendor size or socioeconomic status. While small business participation is not formally prioritized, vendors must still meet stringent performance, security, and compliance thresholds inherent to naval aviation systems. Kors’s procurement activity is exclusively aligned with NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), underscoring a specialized focus on systems engineering, simulation modeling, and avionics integration. He procures custom-engineered training solutions including distributed mission training networks, synthetic environments, and embedded training systems—technologies critical to sustaining naval aircrew readiness in evolving threat landscapes.
