Andrew Hadden serves as a Contract Specialist within the Contract Administration Services Division (70RCAS) of the Department of Homeland Security, where he plays a pivotal role in executing the agency’s mission to secure critical professional, scientific, and technical services that underpin national security operations. He manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for consulting and systems engineering services, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while aligning contract outcomes with operational readiness and cybersecurity resilience objectives. His work directly supports the development and integration of advanced technical capabilities essential to DHS’s mission-critical infrastructure. Hadden collaborates with a diverse pool of vendors specializing in management consulting and computer-related services, fostering partnerships with both large industry primes and small business contractors. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he maintains consistent engagement with firms possessing proven expertise in systems engineering, cybersecurity support, and administrative management consulting. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and rigorous source selection under FAR Part 15 procedures. A strong advocate for socioeconomic diversity in federal contracting, Hadden consistently prioritizes set-asides under the SBA’s Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB) Program, with approximately 25% of his actions reserved for this category. His commitment reflects a strategic effort to expand opportunities for underrepresented entrepreneurs while ensuring access to innovative, high-quality services that meet DHS’s demanding technical requirements. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services) and NAICS 541618 (Other Management Consulting Services), complemented by significant activity in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services). He regularly acquires services related to organizational efficiency, process optimization, cybersecurity consulting, and IT systems integration—domains requiring deep technical understanding and rigorous performance measurement frameworks.
