Belen " Jenn" Hyman

Belen "Jenn" Hyman serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-rsa unit of the Department of the Army, where she manages mission-critical acquisitions to sustain and modernize the Army’s aerial and missile defense systems. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle procurement of aerospace engineering services, including avionics upgrades, propulsion system integration, and sensor modernization for platforms such as the UH-60 Black Hawk and AH-64 Apache. She ensures compliance with defense acquisition regulations while aligning contract execution with the Army’s strategic priorities in force modernization and readiness. Her work directly supports the development and fielding of next-generation air defense capabilities through technical, performance-based contracting approaches. Hyman maintains collaborative relationships with a broad spectrum of defense contractors specializing in aerospace engineering and systems integration. While no single vendor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with proven expertise in military-grade avionics, radar systems, and flight control software. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established defense primes and mid-tier engineering firms with deep domain knowledge in Army aviation systems, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in technical excellence and performance accountability. Hyman’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven focus on technical capability over socioeconomic categorization, prioritizing the most qualified vendors regardless of business size or certification status. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, vendors of all sizes are evaluated strictly on technical merit, past performance, and system integration readiness. Her primary procurement focus is NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), encompassing systems engineering, technical analysis, and integration support for airborne and missile defense platforms. She specializes in procuring advanced engineering services for radar signal processing, flight control algorithms, and electronic warfare countermeasures, demonstrating deep technical fluency in the domains of aerospace systems engineering and defense electronics integration.
