Dane J. Hansen

Dane Hansen supports the Defense Logistics Agency’s Land Warfare Readiness mission at DLA Land Warren by managing the acquisition of mission-critical mechanical, electrical, and electro-mechanical components essential to armored vehicles, tactical transport systems, and combat support platforms. He oversees the procurement of high-reliability transmission systems, powertrain assemblies, and electronic subsystems that sustain the operational readiness of U.S. ground forces. His portfolio emphasizes complex engineering services and specialized manufacturing contracts, requiring deep technical understanding of defense-grade specifications and lifecycle sustainment requirements. Hansen plays a pivotal role in ensuring timely delivery of components that meet stringent military performance and durability standards. He maintains consistent working relationships with key defense industrial base partners including ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC, OSHKOSH DEFENSE LLC, RENK AMERICA LLC, SCI TECHNOLOGY, INC, and VAREC NV. These partnerships reflect a focus on Tier 1 suppliers with proven capabilities in armored vehicle integration, powertrain engineering, and mission-critical electronics. His contracting approach prioritizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical validation, and performance-based acquisition strategies to mitigate risk and ensure interoperability across legacy and next-generation platforms. Hansen’s procurement patterns show a strong preference for open competition, with 85.7% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. The remaining 14.3% are allocated to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a measured but deliberate commitment to small business participation without compromising operational urgency or technical capability. His approach balances socioeconomic goals with mission-critical requirements, ensuring small businesses contribute meaningfully to the supply chain without diluting performance standards. His primary acquisition focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and 336350 (Motor Vehicle Transmission and Power Train Parts Manufacturing), with significant activity in 336211 (Motor Vehicle Body Manufacturing) and 332439 (Other Metal Container Manufacturing). He routinely procures precision-engineered components, armored hull subsystems, and embedded electronic controls, demonstrating expertise in defense-specific manufacturing standards and systems integration for land warfare platforms.
