William M. Horrigan

William Horrigan serves as a key procurement lead within the FA2217 Cocom C2 AFLCMC/HBC, a critical unit under the Department of the Air Force tasked with modernizing command and control architectures for air, space, and electromagnetic spectrum dominance. He manages the acquisition of advanced digital C2 systems, secure cross-domain solutions, and integrated sensor networks that enable real-time situational awareness and cyber-enabled decision-making. His procurement portfolio centers on high-technology systems requiring rigorous certification, interoperability standards, and cybersecurity compliance, aligning directly with the agency’s mission to sustain operational superiority in contested environments. Horrigan collaborates with a diverse ecosystem of defense contractors specializing in aerospace systems, secure communications, and mission-critical engineering services. While no single vendor dominates his contracting activity, he routinely engages with firms possessing DoD 800-53 compliance, CMMC certification, and experience in developing classified C2 platforms. His working relationships emphasize technical agility, rapid prototyping, and lifecycle support, favoring vendors capable of iterative development and secure integration with legacy and next-generation architectures. His contracting patterns reflect a strict preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions issued without set-aside designations. This indicates a focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic criteria, prioritizing mission readiness and system performance above small business participation mandates. While he does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his procurements remain accessible to all qualified offerors capable of meeting stringent technical and security requirements. Horrigan’s procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 334511 for aeronautical and navigation systems, with significant activity in engineering services (541330) and security systems (561621). He procures advanced radar and electronic warfare instrumentation, real-time data fusion platforms, and secure command node hardware, demonstrating deep expertise in airborne C2 integration, signal processing, and electromagnetic spectrum management. His work directly supports the fielding of next-generation C2 systems critical to joint all-domain operations.
