Timothy Misner

Timothy Misner serves as the F108 Program Manager, overseeing the acquisition and lifecycle management of advanced aircraft engine systems and critical engine components. In this role, he is responsible for executing complex procurement strategies that align with national defense and aerospace readiness objectives, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical propulsion technologies. His portfolio encompasses full-spectrum contracting activities—from sole-source justifications to competitive sealed bidding—focused on high-integrity, engineering-intensive systems that require stringent certification and performance validation. Misner works closely with engineering, logistics, and compliance teams to ensure contractual deliverables meet military specifications and airworthiness standards. Misner’s contractor relationships are primarily with Tier 1 aerospace manufacturers and specialized suppliers possessing deep expertise in turbine engine design, materials science, and precision manufacturing. He engages with a select group of industry leaders who maintain ITAR compliance, AS9100 certification, and proven track records in defense propulsion systems. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term partnership development, performance-based contracting, and technical risk mitigation through rigorous source selection and post-award surveillance. Misner’s contracting activity is entirely classified as “No Set-Aside,” reflecting a procurement strategy driven by technical necessity, supply chain constraints, and the specialized nature of aircraft engine manufacturing. While small business participation is not formally mandated in his portfolio, he remains aligned with broader agency goals to foster innovation through qualified small business subcontractors within prime contractor teams, though primary awards are reserved for entities with the capacity to meet extreme performance and security requirements. His procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 336412—Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing—where he specializes in procuring gas turbine engines, fuel control systems, high-pressure compressor components, and afterburner assemblies. Misner possesses deep technical fluency in propulsion system integration, thermal management, and FAA/DOD certification standards, making him a key steward of national aerospace propulsion capability.
