MSGT Chad Hagen

Chad Hagen serves as a Contract Specialist within the W7N5 USPFO Activity Vaang 192, a Department of the Army organization dedicated to sustaining military readiness through operational and quality-of-life support services. In this role, he manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for critical infrastructure and facility support systems, including lodging, food service equipment, and maintenance-related procurement. His work directly enables the agency’s mission to maintain secure, compliant, and resilient support environments across both garrison and deployed settings, ensuring that personnel have access to essential services under demanding operational conditions. While specific contractor names are not currently available, Hagen consistently engages with a diverse pool of vendors specializing in commercial and industrial maintenance, building construction, and specialized manufacturing. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and strict adherence to federal acquisition regulations, fostering long-term partnerships with firms capable of delivering mission-critical goods and services under tight timelines and austere conditions. Hagen demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 77.8% of his acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize small businesses, including those certified under 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB programs, aligning with DoD mandates to expand opportunity and enhance supply chain resilience through diverse vendor participation. His primary NAICS focus areas include commercial and institutional building construction, machinery and equipment repair and maintenance, and manufacturing of lockers, shelving, and communications equipment. These reflect the agency’s emphasis on facility infrastructure, preventive maintenance, and mission-enabling hardware. Hagen’s technical expertise lies in procuring durable, field-deployable solutions that meet military standards for durability, safety, and interoperability, ensuring seamless integration into operational environments.
