Hannah Bourassa

Hannah Bourassa serves as a key procurement professional within Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSYSCOM), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize the U.S. fleet through the acquisition of advanced maritime systems. She manages complex contracting actions for mission-critical naval platforms, with a focus on integrated combat systems, navigation and guidance instrumentation, and shipbuilding lifecycle support. Her work directly enables fleet readiness by ensuring timely delivery of technologically advanced systems that enhance undersea and surface warfare capabilities, aligning with NAVSEA’s strategic priorities in next-generation naval architecture and electronic warfare integration. Bourassa maintains consistent working relationships with prime contractors including Damen Shipbuilding & Cooperation B.V., Huntington Ingalls Incorporated, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, G.S.E. Dynamics, Inc., and Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC. These partnerships span major shipbuilding, systems integration, and advanced electronics manufacturing domains. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, performance-based acquisition strategies, and technical risk mitigation across high-complexity procurements, often involving multi-year contract vehicles and systems engineering support. Her procurement activity shows no preference for socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on accessing the broadest possible industrial base for mission-critical capabilities, prioritizing technical excellence and programmatic urgency over socioeconomic categorization. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, all contractors are evaluated on capability, past performance, and systems integration proficiency. Bourassa’s primary focus lies in NAICS 334511 (navigation, detection, and aeronautical/nautical systems) and NAICS 336611 (shipbuilding and repairing). She routinely procures sonar arrays, radar systems, combat management software, hull and propulsion components, and integrated sensor suites essential to modern warship platforms. Her technical expertise centers on naval electronics architecture, shipboard system interoperability, and lifecycle sustainment engineering, ensuring that acquisitions meet stringent Navy performance and reliability standards.
