Bianca M. Hora

Bianca M. Hora serves as a Procurement Technician within the W6QK Acc-apg organization under the Department of the Army (W91CRB), supporting the acquisition of critical intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities. She plays a vital role in executing the agency’s mission to modernize tactical communications, aeronautical instrumentation, and battlefield data analytics by facilitating the procurement of technical services and software solutions. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contract actions—from solicitation and evaluation to award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and alignment with operational priorities. She typically handles complex, performance-based acquisitions for IT services, software development, and systems integration supporting real-time battlefield decision-making. While specific contractor names are not available, Bianca consistently engages with a diverse pool of vendors specializing in defense-grade information technology, including firms delivering custom software, data analytics platforms, and RF-enabled sensing systems. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for experienced contractors capable of rapid prototyping and field-deployable solutions, often working with both large systems integrators and agile small businesses that can meet stringent military technical requirements under tight timelines. Bianca’s set-aside preferences reveal a strong emphasis on open competition, with 72.2% of acquisitions awarded without set-asides. However, she actively supports socioeconomic programs, with 22.2% of awards directed to 8(a) certified firms and 5.6% to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced approach that prioritizes both competition and small business inclusion. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and 511210 (Data Processing, Hosting, and Related Services), reflecting a deep specialization in mission-critical software services, system integration, and battlefield data analytics. She routinely procures custom programming, cloud-enabled analytics tools, and embedded software for aeronautical and RF platforms, underscoring her technical expertise in supporting next-generation ISR systems.
