Sajja Koirala

Sajja Koirala serves as a key procurement professional within the FA8612 Aflcmc C3BM C3 agency under the Department of the Air Force, supporting the development and integration of next-generation command, control, communications, and battle management systems. Responsible for managing research and development acquisitions aligned with the Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS) and Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) initiatives, Koirala ensures that technical capabilities meet the Air Force’s evolving operational needs for multi-domain warfare. Their procurement activities focus on securing cutting-edge engineering solutions, software architectures, and simulation environments that enable real-time data fusion and cross-domain interoperability across air, space, and cyber domains. Koirala collaborates with a diverse ecosystem of defense technology contractors, including systems integrators, defense aerospace firms, and specialized R&D startups, to deliver mission-critical capabilities. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identified, their procurement pattern reflects a preference for agile, innovation-driven vendors capable of rapid prototyping and field-deployable solutions. Working closely with technical stakeholders, Koirala emphasizes performance-based contracting, developmental testing, and iterative acquisition pathways to accelerate capability delivery. Koirala’s contracting portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic prioritization of technical excellence and mission readiness over socioeconomic set-asides, though small business participation may still occur organically through competitive responsiveness and innovative capability offerings. The agency’s sole NAICS focus is 541715—Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences—indicating a deep specialization in advanced engineering R&D. Koirala procures services related to battle management software, sensor fusion algorithms, secure communication protocols, and AI-enabled decision support systems, requiring deep expertise in DoD acquisition regulations and defense systems engineering standards. Their work directly enables the Air Force’s transition to a networked, data-centric operational paradigm.
