Jessica.Steinhoff , Maj, USAF

Jessica M. Steinhoff serves as a key procurement professional within the FA3002 338 Ess Cc, a unit of the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining and modernizing military aviation training systems. She manages acquisitions critical to the development of high-fidelity flight training, technical instruction, and mission-critical workforce readiness programs for enlisted personnel, officers, and international partners. Her portfolio centers on professional, scientific, and technical services that support the advancement of pilot and crew training infrastructure, including simulation technologies, curriculum development, and systems integration. Steinhoff ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the Air Force’s strategic priorities in air superiority and operational readiness. She maintains a primary working relationship with CLEARWATERS INDUSTRY SOLUTIONS LLC, a trusted vendor delivering advanced research, development, and technical support services for aviation training systems. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-based partnerships with firms capable of integrating cutting-edge engineering solutions into legacy and next-generation training platforms. These collaborations emphasize innovation, rapid prototyping, and scalable training architectures that meet evolving operational demands. Steinhoff’s contracting approach balances broad competition with targeted small business engagement, with approximately one-third of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate commitment to fostering innovation from the small business community and expanding the defense industrial base. Her procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 541715 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences), reflecting her specialization in engineering services for flight training simulation, avionics integration, and instructional systems design. She also regularly procures services under NAICS 541990, encompassing specialized technical consulting and training system modernization. Her expertise lies at the intersection of aerospace engineering, human performance, and educational technology within the defense training domain.
