Frederic L. Hawes

Frederic L. Hawes serves as a Program Manager responsible for overseeing the acquisition and lifecycle management of specialized engine equipment and aircraft component systems. In this role, he aligns procurement strategies with operational requirements for advanced propulsion and aviation support systems, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and technical performance standards. His acquisitions typically involve complex engineering solutions requiring rigorous testing, certification, and supply chain validation, placing him at the intersection of technical specification development and contract execution within the defense and aerospace sectors. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the dataset, Hawes engages with a broad spectrum of industrial suppliers, including Tier 1 manufacturers and niche engineering firms capable of delivering high-reliability components under strict quality control protocols. His procurement approach emphasizes technical capability, production scalability, and long-term sustainment support, fostering partnerships with vendors who demonstrate robust quality management systems and defense industrial base readiness. Hawes’ contracting portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical merit and performance-based outcomes rather than socioeconomic preferences, indicating a focus on mission-critical capabilities where specialized expertise outweighs small business targeting criteria. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 333618 (Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing) and NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), indicating deep specialization in turbine components, auxiliary power units, fuel systems, and flight-critical avionics support hardware. He routinely procures custom-engineered subsystems requiring compliance with MIL-SPEC, RTCA DO-160, and SAE AS9100 standards, demonstrating advanced domain expertise in aerospace propulsion and aircraft systems integration.
