Kelli L Hancock

Kelli L. Hancock serves as a Buyer responsible for managing the acquisition of specialized aerospace components and engineering services to support critical national defense and aviation systems. In her role, she executes full-cycle procurement activities—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical delivery timelines. Her acquisitions primarily support the design, integration, and sustainment of aircraft subsystems, placing her at the center of the agency’s technical supply chain for advanced aviation hardware and related engineering support. While specific contractor names are not disclosed in available records, Hancock routinely engages with a diverse pool of manufacturers and engineering firms specializing in aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical precision, supply chain resilience, and performance-based contracting, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors capable of meeting stringent aerospace quality standards, including AS9100 certification and defense-specific compliance requirements. Hancock’s contracting portfolio is entirely focused on open, unrestricted competitions, with 100% of her awards issued under the “No Set-Aside” category. This reflects a strategic emphasis on maximizing competition among qualified industry participants rather than leveraging socioeconomic programs, indicating a procurement philosophy centered on technical capability and operational readiness over socioeconomic preferences. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413, encompassing the acquisition of other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment—such as avionics housings, actuation systems, and non-engine propulsion components—alongside a minor but vital share of engineering services under NAICS 541330. This specialization demonstrates deep domain expertise in aerospace manufacturing and systems integration, positioning her as a key technical buyer within the defense and aviation procurement ecosystem.
