Ahmed Hassan

Ahmed Hassan serves as a procurement professional within the Division of Contracts Management under the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, supporting the strategic acquisition of professional and technical services critical to advancing behavioral health and substance use disorder programs nationwide. He manages the full lifecycle of federal contracts, from solicitation through award and administration, with a focus on securing expertise in software development, systems design, and technical consulting to enable data-driven program implementation, workforce training, and operational modernization across SAMHSA’s national initiatives. His acquisitions directly support initiatives in youth innovation, homelessness response, and clinical service delivery, ensuring that federal resources are aligned with mission-critical outcomes. Ahmed collaborates with a diverse range of contractors, primarily engaging firms specializing in custom software development, computer systems design, and scientific consulting services. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently works with mid-sized and small businesses capable of delivering agile, scalable solutions tailored to public health needs. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for performance-based, outcome-oriented agreements that emphasize innovation, interoperability, and compliance with federal data standards. Ahmed demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately 16.7% of his acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Though the majority of his awards remain open to all competitors, his consistent use of small business set-asides signals a deliberate effort to expand market access for qualified small firms, particularly those with expertise in health IT and behavioral health services. His procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 513210 (Software Publishers), 541990 (Other Professional Services), and 541511/541512 (Custom Programming and Systems Design), reflecting a technical domain expertise in digital health platforms, behavioral health data systems, and cloud-based service delivery tools. He regularly procures solutions that integrate with federal health information exchanges and support real-time analytics for program evaluation and policy decision-making.
