Dawn Hampton

Dawn Hampton serves as a procurement specialist responsible for managing complex acquisitions of industrial machinery, machine tools, and related maintenance services. While her official title and agency are not specified, her procurement patterns indicate a central role in supporting federal operations requiring precision manufacturing equipment and industrial infrastructure. She handles competitive solicitations under FAR Part 15, often leveraging negotiated procedures for technical goods and services requiring specialized engineering expertise. Her acquisitions span the lifecycle from initial requirements development through contract award and performance monitoring, ensuring alignment with operational readiness and technical specifications. Her contractor relationships are primarily with manufacturers and wholesale distributors of industrial equipment, including firms specializing in machine tool systems, air and gas compressors, and industrial repair services. While no specific vendors are identified, her pattern suggests consistent engagement with mid-tier suppliers possessing technical certifications and ISO-compliant manufacturing processes. She maintains a balanced approach between large-capacity vendors and small businesses, favoring competitive open markets while actively incorporating socioeconomic set-asides. Dawn demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 25% of her awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She does not appear to prioritize niche socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, instead focusing broadly on small business eligibility under general size standards. This reflects a preference for inclusive competition among qualified small manufacturers and wholesalers rather than targeted socioeconomic contracting. Her technical domain centers on NAICS 333517 (Machine Tool Manufacturing) and 333912 (Air and Gas Compressor Manufacturing), indicating deep expertise in procuring precision industrial equipment. She also regularly acquires maintenance and repair services under NAICS 811310 and industrial distribution through 423830. Her work supports critical federal infrastructure needs in manufacturing, energy, and maintenance-intensive operations, requiring a nuanced understanding of technical specifications, performance standards, and supply chain reliability.
