Kathryn Koerkenmeier

Kathryn Koerkenmeier supports the Telecommunications Division (HC1013) of the Defense Information Systems Agency in managing critical procurement activities that sustain and modernize the Department of Defense’s global communications infrastructure. She oversees acquisitions for secure, high-capacity network services, satellite communications, and integrated IT systems that enable resilient military and federal operations. Her work directly advances DISA’s mission to replace legacy telecom architectures with next-generation, encrypted, and interoperable solutions, focusing on contract vehicles that deliver mission-critical connectivity across distributed environments. Koerkenmeier maintains consistent partnerships with leading telecommunications and systems integration contractors, including AT&T Technical Services Company, Inc., Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Liberty Communications, Inc., AOC Connect LLC, and Norfolk Fiber, LLC. These relationships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in secure network design, fiber-optic infrastructure deployment, and satellite-based communications. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, long-term service delivery, and technical compliance with DoD cybersecurity and interoperability standards. Her procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, reflecting a strategic focus on mission readiness over socioeconomic preferences. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her contracting decisions are driven by technical capability, scalability, and operational resilience rather than socioeconomic criteria, aligning with the Telecommunications Division’s urgent need for assured performance in contested environments. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services) and 517410 (Satellite Telecommunications), with significant activity in 517919 (Other Telecommunications) and 541519 (Other Computer-Related Services). She routinely acquires secure virtual private networks, encrypted data transport systems, fiber backbone services, and mission-critical cloud-enabled telecom platforms, demonstrating deep expertise in DoD-wide network modernization and secure infrastructure integration.
