Diana Bradham

Diana Bradham serves as a Contracting Officer with the Virginia Contracting Activity (HHM402), a critical procurement hub within the Department of Defense’s Defense Intelligence Agency. She is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of complex, mission-critical acquisitions that support classified intelligence operations, including advanced systems design, real-time data exploitation, and engineered technical services. Her portfolio centers on acquiring specialized professional, scientific, and technical services essential to national security, with a strong emphasis on secure software development, physical science research, and operational support systems. Bradham ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s strategic imperatives in intelligence modernization and force readiness. Bradham cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse range of contractors, particularly those capable of delivering high-assurance, low-latency technical solutions for classified environments. She routinely engages with firms possessing Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) clearances and specialized expertise in defense-grade systems integration, secure communications, and intelligence analysis platforms. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous source selection, and long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical excellence and mission alignment. A staunch advocate for socioeconomic diversity in federal contracting, Bradham maintains a 100% Small Business Set-Aside policy across her portfolio, consistently directing opportunities to small businesses certified under the 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB programs. Her procurement strategy prioritizes inclusive competition, ensuring that small, innovative firms have equitable access to high-impact intelligence missions, thereby fostering a resilient and agile supplier base. Her primary procurement focus spans NAICS 334310 (audio/video equipment manufacturing for intelligence hardware), 541310 (architectural services for secure facility design), 541990 (professional scientific services for systems analysis and R&D), and 561612 (security guard and patrol services for protected intelligence sites). This blend reflects her deep technical understanding of both physical and cyber-domain requirements supporting mission-critical intelligence operations.
