Haley Guttersohn

Haley Guttersohn serves as a secondary procurement contact within the Telecommunications Division (HC1013) of the Defense Information Systems Agency, supporting the acquisition of mission-critical telecommunications infrastructure for Department of Defense operations. While not the lead contracting officer, she plays a vital role in facilitating the planning, solicitation, and administration of contracts that enable secure, high-capacity network connectivity across global military networks. Her work centers on the procurement of wired telecommunications services, virtual private network solutions, and interoperable communications systems that modernize legacy infrastructure and ensure resilient command and control capabilities. She maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of prime contractors including AT&T Technical Services Company, Inc., Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Liberty Communications, Inc., AOC Connect LLC, and Norfolk Fiber, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in fiber-optic deployment, telecom reselling, and secure network integration. Her procurement patterns indicate close collaboration with contractors capable of delivering enterprise-grade telecom solutions under stringent DoD security and compliance standards. Guttersohn’s acquisition portfolio reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately 36% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, while the majority—64%—remain open to all competitors. This demonstrates a deliberate effort to foster competition while actively promoting opportunities for qualified small businesses without compromising mission requirements. Her primary focus lies in NAICS 517111 (Wired Telecommunications Carriers) and 517121 (Telecommunications Resellers), indicating deep expertise in procuring backbone network services, leased lines, managed bandwidth, and telecom infrastructure solutions. She supports the agency’s strategic modernization goals by acquiring technologies that enhance network agility, cybersecurity resilience, and global interoperability for defense communications.
