Craig Hanauer

Craig Hanauer, CW2, serves as a contracting specialist within the W7NB USPFO Activity LA ARNG (W912NR), supporting the operational readiness of Louisiana National Guard units through mission-critical procurement of logistical, administrative, and facility sustainment services. His role centers on executing full-cycle contract actions for quality-of-life and operational support functions—including dining, lodging, laundry, and facility maintenance—while ensuring compliance with Army regulatory frameworks. Hanauer manages a high-volume portfolio of simplified acquisitions and task orders under FAR Part 13, prioritizing rapid response to unit-level requirements to maintain force readiness and mission continuity. Hanauer maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized vendors, including PHOENIX PRODIGY CONSULTING FIRM LLC for administrative support services, OLD ARABI CAFE, LLC for food service solutions, ARABIC INTERPRETERS LLC for language support, CONTEMPORARY PRODUCT SOLUTIONS, INC for technical equipment, and TITAN SPECIALIZED SERVICES INC for facility maintenance and logistics coordination. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, cultural competency, and on-demand service delivery, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors capable of operating in dynamic, field-deployable environments. A steadfast advocate for small business participation, Hanauer applies a 100% Small Business Set-Aside strategy across all his acquisitions, in full alignment with FAR 19.5. He consistently awards contracts to small, locally-based, and socioeconomically disadvantaged firms, ensuring maximum economic impact within Louisiana’s defense community and reinforcing the Army’s commitment to inclusive contracting practices. His procurement focus is exclusively concentrated under NAICS 333515—Cutting Tool and Machine Tool Accessory Manufacturing—reflecting a specialized need for precision-machined components, tooling accessories, and maintenance equipment critical to training and field equipment sustainment. This narrow technical domain underscores his expertise in industrial supply chain management for military-grade mechanical systems, ensuring that National Guard units receive mission-ready, durable, and compliant hardware for operational use.
