Hannah Farrell

Hannah Farrell serves as the primary contracting lead for the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division, where she oversees the acquisition of advanced aviation systems critical to naval air superiority and fleet readiness. She manages complex procurements spanning guided missile and space vehicle manufacturing and engineering services, ensuring timely delivery of next-generation avionics, electronic warfare suites, and mission-critical aircraft subsystems. Her role is central to translating operational requirements into technically sound contracts that align with the Navy’s modernization agenda, particularly in sensor integration, communications architecture, and legacy system sustainment. Farrell works closely with technical stakeholders to define performance-based specifications and ensure compliance with defense acquisition regulations. She maintains strategic partnerships with leading defense contractors including SABRE SYSTEMS, LLC, THE BOEING COMPANY, SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, SYSTEMS PLANNING AND ANALYSIS, INC., and ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC. These relationships are characterized by long-term collaboration on high-complexity technical programs, often involving systems engineering, prototype development, and integrated testing of airborne platforms. Farrell consistently engages these prime contractors to deliver end-to-end solutions, from concept through sustainment, leveraging their specialized capabilities in aerospace systems and mission-critical software. Farrell’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects the highly specialized, classified, and technologically advanced nature of the acquisitions she manages, where only a limited number of vendors possess the necessary clearances, infrastructure, and domain expertise. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, she ensures all solicitations are structured to permit equitable access based on technical capability and past performance. Her primary focus lies in NAICS 336414 (Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing) and 541330 (Engineering Services), driving procurements for advanced guidance systems, radar and electronic attack technologies, and mission systems integration. Her expertise centers on acquiring sophisticated hardware-software systems for next-generation naval aircraft, emphasizing performance, interoperability, and rapid fielding in contested environments.
