Adam M Venhaus

Adam M. Venhaus serves as a Contract Specialist within the Telecommunications Division (HC1013) of the Defense Information Systems Agency, where he plays a critical role in procuring mission-critical telecommunications and network infrastructure solutions. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contract actions—from requirements validation and market research to solicitation development, source selection, and award administration—ensuring alignment with DoD cybersecurity and interoperability standards. He primarily manages acquisitions for secure voice, data, and video communications systems, with a strategic focus on modernizing legacy telecom architectures and deploying resilient, encrypted virtual private networks to support global military operations. Venhaus maintains longstanding relationships with key industry partners including AT&T Technical Services Company, Inc., Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Liberty Communications, Inc., AOC Connect LLC, and Norfolk Fiber, LLC. These contractors consistently deliver fiber-optic network deployment, managed telecom services, and secure connectivity solutions tailored to DISA’s high-assurance environments. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance with DoDIN standards, and vendor accountability under firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contract types. While the majority of his acquisitions (76%) are conducted as unrestricted competitions, Venhaus demonstrates a consistent commitment to small business participation, with 24% of his awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. He actively leverages the small business ecosystem to foster innovation and ensure competitive pricing without compromising mission-critical performance requirements. His procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 511210 (Telecommunications Resale), reflecting his domain expertise in wholesale and retail telecom services, including bandwidth provisioning, satellite communications, and managed network services. He also regularly procures custom computer programming and systems design services under NAICS 541511 and 541512 to support network automation, cybersecurity integration, and legacy system modernization initiatives across the DoD’s global infrastructure.
