Jill Hohnecker

Jill Hohnecker serves as a key procurement professional within the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center’s FA8517 unit, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize mission-critical aerospace systems. She specializes in contracting for precision-engineered components, avionics, and maintenance services essential to aircraft operational readiness—particularly ejection seats, flight control systems, and electrical instrumentation. Her work directly supports the Air Force’s imperative to maintain high-readiness platforms through reliable, high-integrity sourcing of technical parts and repair services, ensuring compliance with rigorous military specifications and quality assurance standards. Hohnecker maintains a consistent working relationship with BAE SYSTEMS INFORMATION AND ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS INTEGRATION INC., a primary contractor for complex electronic integration, repair, and advanced manufacturing of flight-critical subsystems. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical expertise, past performance, and adherence to military-grade engineering standards. She engages with a limited but highly specialized pool of industrial base partners, favoring firms with proven capability in aerospace-grade component lifecycle support and system-level integration. Her contracting activity reflects no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This underscores a mission-driven focus on technical capability over socioeconomic classifications, prioritizing performance, reliability, and readiness above all other criteria in procurement decisions. Hohnecker’s procurement portfolio is dominated by NAICS 811219 (Other Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance) and 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance), with significant activity in 334515 (Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals). She procures specialized services including calibration, overhaul, and remanufacturing of flight-critical avionics and electrical systems, demonstrating deep domain expertise in aerospace maintenance, electronic instrumentation, and mission-system sustainment.
