Denise M Kogge

Denise M. Kogge serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from solicitation and evaluation to award and contract administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports the agency’s mission by delivering technically complex electronic components and subsystems essential to national defense and infrastructure systems. Her acquisitions primarily involve high-reliability electronic manufacturing, requiring deep technical understanding of component specifications, quality assurance protocols, and supply chain resilience standards. While specific contractor names are not available, Kogge maintains consistent working relationships with manufacturers specializing in passive and active electronic components, including firms capable of meeting MIL-STD and IPC certification requirements. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, technical evaluation criteria, and vendor qualification through rigorous source selection processes. She collaborates with suppliers possessing advanced manufacturing capabilities, particularly those with experience in high-density interconnect (HDI) board fabrication and precision connector assembly. Kogge demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately 10.9% of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate effort to foster competition among small businesses while maintaining technical integrity, though the majority of her portfolio—89.1%—remains open to all offerors. She does not appear to prioritize other socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead focusing on broad-based small business eligibility under the Total Small Business program. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334416 (Capacitor, Resistor, Coil, Transformer, and Other Inductor Manufacturing) and 334417 (Electronic Connector Manufacturing), indicating deep expertise in passive electronic components and interconnect systems. She regularly acquires custom-designed passive networks, RF components, and high-reliability connectors used in aerospace, defense, and telecommunications applications, demonstrating specialized knowledge in electronic component engineering and supply chain logistics for mission-critical systems.
