Christie Hazlett

Christie Hazlett serves as a Contracting Officer for the W6QK Acc-APG Cont Ct Wash Ofc under the Department of the Army, where she leads the acquisition of critical C5ISR systems essential to land and expeditionary force readiness. Her portfolio centers on the procurement of advanced electro-optic/infrared sensor systems, precision navigation and guidance technologies, and ruggedized power generation solutions that enhance battlefield situational awareness and operational resilience. She manages full lifecycle contract actions—from market research and solicitation to award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning with the Army’s modernization priorities for next-generation soldier systems. Hazlett maintains a consistent working relationship with Cummins Power Generation Inc., a primary vendor for high-reliability, mission-critical power systems engineered for austere environments. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and technical interoperability, favoring established industrial partners with proven capabilities in ruggedized power generation and electro-optical integration. While she engages with a limited pool of qualified vendors, her partnerships are built on long-term technical alignment and demonstrated reliability under demanding operational conditions. Hazlett’s acquisition portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside profile, with no use of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. Her contracting decisions prioritize technical superiority, mission-critical performance, and supply chain assurance over socioeconomic preferences, reflecting the urgency and specialized nature of C5ISR requirements. Her primary focus is on NAICS 335312 (Motor and Generator Manufacturing), where she procures heavy-duty, expeditionary power generation systems and associated control electronics designed for extreme environmental conditions. She specializes in acquiring hardened electrical systems that support sustained operations in forward-deployed environments, demonstrating deep technical fluency in power system architecture, thermal management, and electromagnetic compatibility standards critical to modern military platforms.
