Amanda Behrmann serves as a key procurement lead within the Telecommunications Division (HC1013) of the Defense Information Systems Agency, where she oversees the acquisition of critical telecommunications infrastructure to support the Department of Defense’s global communications network. Her responsibilities include managing complex contracts for secure voice, data, and video services, as well as the modernization of legacy telecom systems and deployment of encrypted virtual private networks. She plays a central role in ensuring interoperability across military and federal networks, prioritizing resilience, scalability, and cybersecurity compliance in all acquisition decisions. Her work directly enables mission-critical connectivity for deployed forces and defense enterprise operations. Behrmann maintains long-standing relationships with a core group of contractors including AT&T Technical Services Company, Inc., Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Liberty Communications, Inc., AOC Connect LLC, and Norfolk Fiber, LLC.

The division’s procurements are heavily focused on telecommunications and network infrastructure services, with primary technical domains including fiber optic deployment, secure IP transport, SD-WAN solutions, and encrypted satellite communications. Behrmann’s portfolio consistently targets services governed by NAICS categories related to telecommunications carriers and network infrastructure support, ensuring the DoD’s global communications architecture remains secure, agile, and future-ready.
