Steven W Francoeur

Steven W. Francoeur serves as a Contracting Officer within the Telecommunications Division (HC1013) of the Defense Information Systems Agency, where he is responsible for managing the acquisition of mission-critical telecommunications and information technology services that sustain the Department of Defense’s global communications infrastructure. He oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from requirements definition and solicitation to award and performance monitoring—ensuring alignment with DISA’s strategic goals of modernizing legacy networks, deploying secure virtual private networks, and enabling interoperable, resilient connectivity across military and federal operations. His portfolio is focused exclusively on complex, high-stakes IT and telecom services requiring stringent security compliance and technical precision. Francoeur maintains enduring relationships with a core group of prime contractors including AT&T Technical Services Company, Inc., Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Liberty Communications, Inc., AOC Connect LLC, and Norfolk Fiber, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in secure network architecture, fiber optic deployment, and mission-critical telecom integration. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical rigor, and long-term service reliability, often resulting in multi-year task order contracts under indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles. His procurement activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued as full and open competitions. This reflects a strategic focus on technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing vendor expertise and system interoperability in high-consequence environments. Francoeur’s acquisitions are entirely concentrated under NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), encompassing network engineering, secure communications systems, cloud-enabled telecom services, cybersecurity-integrated infrastructure, and mission-specific IT support. His domain expertise lies in securing and scaling enterprise-grade telecommunications platforms that meet DoD standards for confidentiality, integrity, and availability across distributed operational theaters.
