Sheena Sellers

Sheena Sellers serves as a key procurement lead within the Kessel Run organization under the Department of the Air Force, driving the acquisition of mission-critical software and digital systems to modernize air and space operations. She plays a central role in executing rapid, agile contracting strategies aligned with DevSecOps principles and cloud-native development lifecycles. Her portfolio centers on software development, systems integration, and secure cloud infrastructure contracts supporting initiatives like the Aerospace Readiness Enterprise System (ARES). She ensures acquisitions adhere to federal acquisition regulations while enabling iterative delivery, continuous integration, and automated testing environments essential to operational tempo. Sheena maintains a primary working relationship with THE BOEING COMPANY, engaging them as a principal systems integrator and enterprise software partner across complex digital modernization efforts. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established defense aerospace contractors with proven capabilities in secure, scalable software platforms, often leveraging Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) vehicles and Other Transaction Authority (OTA) mechanisms to accelerate delivery. She collaborates closely with technical teams to translate operational requirements into solicitation language that prioritizes performance-based outcomes over prescriptive specifications. Sheena’s procurement activity shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects Kessel Run’s mission-critical urgency and the specialized nature of the capabilities required, where speed and technical maturity outweigh traditional small business participation targets. While small businesses are not formally prioritized in her portfolio, she supports broader agency goals by encouraging subcontracting opportunities through prime contractor obligations. Her technical focus spans software development, cloud migration, cybersecurity integration, and DevSecOps toolchain procurement, aligning with NAICS categories including 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services) and 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services). She consistently procures services related to containerized applications, Kubernetes orchestration, zero-trust architecture, and secure DevSecOps pipelines—ensuring digital systems meet the demanding requirements of air and space warfighting domains.
