Christopher Hons

Chris Hons serves as a key procurement lead within the W0ML USA Deputy Tobyhanna, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to modernize and sustain critical military electronics, communication systems, and industrial infrastructure at Tobyhanna Army Depot. Responsible for managing complex acquisitions of specialized fabricated metal components, industrial test equipment, and precision instrumentation, Hons ensures timely delivery of mission-critical systems that maintain U.S. Army readiness. His procurement activities center on high-reliability hardware and maintenance services essential for electronic warfare, signal, and field instrumentation platforms, often requiring compliance with military specifications and ruggedized engineering standards. Hons maintains a primary working relationship with MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, a contractor engaged in facility and infrastructure support services critical to depot operations. While this partnership dominates his contractor portfolio, his acquisition strategy emphasizes performance-based contracting and long-term vendor reliability over broad competition, reflecting a focus on mission continuity and technical alignment rather than open-market bidding. His contracting patterns show a strong preference for unrestricted, non-set-aside procurements at 92.3%, indicating a prioritization of technical capability and schedule certainty over socioeconomic preferences. Only 7.7% of awards are competed under the 8(a) program, suggesting targeted, selective use of small business authorities when specific expertise or capacity is required. Hons’ procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 332999 (miscellaneous fabricated metal products), 423830 (industrial machinery wholesalers), and 334519 (measuring and controlling devices), reflecting deep expertise in sourcing ruggedized metal enclosures, industrial control systems, calibration equipment, and specialized machine tool components. His domain knowledge spans military-grade fabrication, test and measurement systems, and industrial supply chains supporting electronic sustainment operations.
