Kora Seeliger

Kora Seeliger serves as a Program Manager responsible for overseeing the acquisition and lifecycle management of specialized aircraft components and auxiliary equipment. In this role, she ensures that procurement activities align with operational readiness requirements and technical specifications for defense and aerospace systems. Her responsibilities include developing solicitation strategies, evaluating technical proposals, managing contract performance, and coordinating with engineering and logistics teams to validate supplier capabilities. Seeliger’s acquisitions are mission-critical, focusing on high-integrity parts that support aircraft systems requiring stringent certification and quality control standards. While specific contractor names are not available, Seeliger’s procurement patterns indicate a consistent engagement with manufacturers possessing advanced manufacturing capabilities in aerospace-grade materials and precision engineering. Her working relationships are characterized by long-term partnerships with firms capable of meeting Federal Aviation Administration and Department of Defense compliance standards, including those with AS9100 certification and robust quality management systems. She prioritizes suppliers with proven track records in low-volume, high-complexity production environments. Seeliger’s contracting portfolio reflects a 100% preference for open competition with no set-asides, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic classifications. This approach suggests that mission requirements—such as performance, reliability, and supply chain security—take precedence over small business participation targets. Her procurement strategy is driven by the need for specialized engineering expertise rather than socioeconomic objectives. Her primary focus is on NAICS 336413, which encompasses the manufacturing of other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment, including flight control components, avionics housings, and non-propulsion engine subsystems. She specializes in procuring custom-engineered, non-standardized components that require rigorous testing and certification, demonstrating deep domain expertise in aerospace manufacturing and systems integration.
