Jennifer L. Seese

Jennifer L. Seese serves as a key procurement professional within the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), supporting the agency’s mission to deliver secure, resilient, and interoperable information systems for global military operations. She manages acquisitions focused on wired telecommunications infrastructure and mission-critical communications hardware, ensuring that DISA’s global network capabilities remain robust and cyber-secure. Her work directly enables command and control, secure data transmission, and cyber-enabled decision-making across all domains, with a primary emphasis on sustaining high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity for deployed forces and defense networks. Seese maintains strategic relationships with prime contractors specializing in wired telecommunications carriers and audio-video equipment manufacturing, engaging with vendors capable of delivering enterprise-grade network infrastructure, hardened communication devices, and secure signal processing systems. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical compliance with DoD cybersecurity standards, including NIST SP 800-53 and RMF requirements, and she routinely collaborates with vendors who demonstrate proven experience in deploying classified and unclassified telecom solutions in austere environments. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 95% of acquisitions conducted as non-set-aside actions under FAR Part 15. While small business participation is limited to approximately 5%, those awards are typically structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides, consistent with DISA’s broader strategy to maintain technical capability while preserving competition among qualified firms. Seese’s primary NAICS focus is 517111 (Wired Telecommunications Carriers), indicating deep expertise in procuring fiber-optic networks, backbone infrastructure, and terrestrial and satellite-enabled telecom services. She also engages with manufacturers under NAICS 334310 for specialized secure audio-video equipment used in tactical command centers. Her technical domain expertise lies in secure network architecture, encrypted communications systems, and infrastructure that supports Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) objectives.
