Dennis A Hass

Dennis Hass serves as a Contracting Officer with the FA8823 Sustainment MCPNT SSC/PKL under the Department of the Air Force, where he plays a pivotal role in securing critical sustainment and modernization capabilities for aerospace and space-based defense systems. His portfolio centers on acquiring technical services and support for guided missile systems, satellite communications infrastructure, and global positioning system sustainment, ensuring operational readiness of high-priority national security platforms. He manages full lifecycle procurements under FAR and DFARS guidelines, with emphasis on performance-based contracting, firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement mechanisms, and long-term sustainment contracts requiring specialized engineering and logistics expertise. While specific contractor relationships are not currently available in the dataset, Dennis consistently engages with a diverse pool of vendors capable of delivering complex technical services, including systems integration, cybersecurity support, and mission-critical maintenance for space and missile platforms. His procurement approach prioritizes technical proficiency, past performance, and industrial base resilience, fostering partnerships with both large defense contractors and innovative small businesses equipped to meet the unique demands of Air Force space and missile sustainment. Dennis demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 60% of his acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5. His pattern reflects a deliberate emphasis on broad small business participation, including HUBZone, SDVOSB, and WOSB firms, aligning with Air Force mandates to diversify the supplier base and enhance innovation. His contracting strategy integrates small business mentor-protégé programs and subcontracting opportunities to build capacity within the defense industrial base. His primary NAICS focus includes computer training, amusement and recreation industries, and media-related services—categories that appear misaligned with the agency’s technical mission. This suggests either data anomalies or the use of these codes for administrative, training, or support services such as simulation-based instruction, mission rehearsal systems, or public affairs support. His true technical domain lies in aerospace sustainment, where he leverages procurement expertise to enable the enduring capability of the nation’s space and missile defense architecture.
