Evan Port

Evan Port supports the Telecommunications Division (HC1013) of the Defense Information Systems Agency in managing critical acquisitions that sustain and modernize the Department of Defense’s global communications infrastructure. Responsible for procuring advanced telecom and network services, he ensures the deployment of secure, high-capacity connectivity solutions that enable mission-critical military and federal operations. His portfolio emphasizes the transition from legacy systems to resilient, software-defined architectures, with a focus on secure virtual private networks, network orchestration, and interoperable communications platforms. He plays a pivotal role in executing complex, performance-based contracts aligned with DISA’s strategic imperatives for cyber-resilient infrastructure. Evan maintains consistent working relationships with leading telecommunications and systems integration contractors, including AT&T Technical Services Company, Inc., Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Liberty Communications, Inc., AOC Connect LLC, and Norfolk Fiber, LLC. These partnerships are centered on delivering end-to-end telecom services, fiber optic network deployment, and managed network operations. His contracting approach favors established vendors with proven experience in defense-grade communications, often leveraging indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles and performance-based service contracts to ensure scalability and operational continuity. Evan’s procurement activity reflects a strict focus on open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside conditions. This indicates a preference for full and open competition over socioeconomic set-asides, prioritizing technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic classifications. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in his portfolio, vendors of all sizes are evaluated strictly on technical merit, past performance, and compliance with DoD security standards. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services) and 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), with significant activity in 541513 (Computer Facilities Management Services) and 541712 (Research and Development in Physical and Engineering Sciences). He routinely acquires network architecture design, secure cloud-enabled telecom platforms, infrastructure monitoring systems, and R&D-driven innovations to enhance the resilience and scalability of DoD-wide communications networks.
