Chance Hansen

Chance Hansen supports the procurement mission of the FA7000 10 Cons Lgc under the Department of the Air Force, facilitating the acquisition of precision instrumentation, laboratory equipment, and specialized technical systems critical to aerospace research and cadet training at the U.S. Air Force Academy. Responsible for managing complex contracting actions across advanced technical domains, Hansen ensures that acquisitions align with strategic priorities in operational readiness and facility modernization. His portfolio includes high-accuracy measuring devices, industrial machinery, and integrated software systems essential for maintaining cutting-edge analytical capabilities in support of Air Force scientific and educational missions. Hansen maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including SAWASAWA LLC, BERNARD CAP, LLC, TEAL DRONES INC, BRANSCOME OPERATING, LLC, and LAVISION, INC., each recognized for their expertise in precision engineering, unmanned systems, and laboratory instrumentation. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven technical capabilities in aerospace-grade equipment and validated quality control processes. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and long-term vendor reliability over transactional procurement. While 60% of his acquisitions are conducted without set-asides, Hansen actively promotes small business participation, with 40% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern demonstrates a deliberate commitment to fostering innovation through qualified small manufacturers and technology providers, without prioritizing specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a) or HUBZone. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 333248 (industrial machinery), 333992 (welding and soldering equipment), and 337215 (showcase and locker manufacturing), with additional emphasis on machine tool systems and software publishing (513210). These categories reflect deep technical expertise in procuring ruggedized, high-precision equipment for laboratory and training environments, ensuring cadets and researchers have access to mission-critical hardware and embedded systems.
