Genevieve Hornik serves as a key procurement lead within the Defense Information Systems Agency, supporting the acquisition of mission-critical information systems and engineering services that sustain the Department of Defense’s C4I infrastructure. She manages complex contracts aligned with DISA’s strategic priorities in cybersecurity, cloud modernization, and interoperable communications platforms, ensuring technical solutions meet stringent DoD standards for resilience and performance. Her portfolio primarily encompasses engineering services for network architecture, systems integration, and secure IT sustainment, directly enabling global military operations and national defense communications. Hornik maintains a consistent working relationship with EXPRESSION NETWORKS LLC, a primary contractor delivering specialized engineering and technical support for DISA’s enterprise IT environments. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term, performance-based partnerships with vendors capable of delivering high-assurance solutions under strict compliance frameworks. She collaborates closely with contractors to ensure adherence to NIST, RMF, and DoD IL5/IL6 security requirements, fostering a vendor ecosystem focused on innovation, reliability, and rapid deployment of secure capabilities. Hornik’s contracting activity reflects a strict preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This indicates a procurement strategy prioritizing technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic targeting, aligning with DISA’s operational imperatives for mission-critical systems where specialized expertise outweighs socioeconomic criteria. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), with an exclusive emphasis on advanced technical domains including secure network design, systems engineering, cybersecurity architecture, and cloud-based infrastructure modernization. She procures services that support the integration of DoD-wide communications systems, zero-trust architectures, and enterprise-level IT sustainment, requiring contractors with deep expertise in defense-grade engineering and compliance with DoD Information Network standards.
