Ann Marie L. Strandhagen

Ann Marie L. Strandhagen serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements validation and market research to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while supporting mission-critical technology initiatives. Her portfolio primarily encompasses information technology and electronics manufacturing procurements, with a focus on complex, high-technical-demand solutions requiring detailed performance specifications and risk mitigation strategies. Strandhagen works closely with technical stakeholders to translate operational needs into enforceable contract terms, ensuring alignment with statutory and regulatory frameworks. While specific contractor relationships are not currently available for public disclosure, Strandhagen engages with a diverse pool of vendors across the technology supply chain, including prime contractors, systems integrators, and specialized manufacturers. Her procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding, clear statement of work development, and performance-based contracting to foster accountability and innovation. She maintains a vendor-neutral stance, prioritizing capability, compliance, and value over historical relationships, and actively encourages new entrants into the federal marketplace. Strandhagen’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides. This indicates a strategic focus on maximizing market participation and leveraging broad industry capabilities rather than targeting specific socioeconomic categories. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her process remains transparent and inclusive, providing equal opportunity for all qualified offerors. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS codes 511210 (Software Publishers), 334111 (Electronic Computer Manufacturing), 334112 (Computer Storage Device Manufacturing), 334220 (Radio and Television Broadcasting Equipment Manufacturing), and 541519 (Other Computer Related Services).
