Elisa J. Horrach

Elisa J. Horrach serves as a key procurement professional within the FA2823 AFTC PZIO under the Department of the Air Force, supporting the development and integration of advanced airborne and ground-based sensing, communication, and test instrumentation systems. She manages acquisitions critical to aerospace mission readiness, focusing on avionics, electronic warfare, radar, and signal intelligence platforms. Her work ensures the modernization of test and evaluation infrastructure through the procurement of high-precision measurement and control systems, aligning with the agency’s strategic imperatives in electromagnetic compatibility and mission-critical instrumentation. Horrach maintains consistent relationships with a core group of contractors including TOM HAMMONDS ENTERPRISES, LLC, STREET LEGAL INDUSTRIES, INC, SPEEGLE CONSTRUCTION, INC, DETECT INC, and THE CONTROLS COMPANY, LLC. These partnerships reflect a blend of specialized engineering, construction, and technical services essential to sustaining complex test ranges and instrumentation networks. Her contracting patterns emphasize long-term vendor collaboration, often involving niche suppliers with domain-specific expertise in defense-grade hardware and field-deployable systems. Her procurement portfolio is predominantly open competition, with 75% of awards issued without set-asides. However, she actively supports small business participation, allocating approximately 21.8% of contracts to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, with smaller portions directed toward service-disabled veteran-owned and 8(a) firms, demonstrating a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing) and 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), reflecting a technical emphasis on precision measurement devices, though she also procures supporting services in temporary staffing and construction. This diversity underscores her role in enabling multidisciplinary test environments that require both cutting-edge instrumentation and operational infrastructure support.
