Hannah J. Kennedy

Hannah J. Kennedy serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-ri unit of the Department of the Army, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize the Army’s industrial base for munitions, precision components, and battlefield support systems. She oversees the full lifecycle procurement of critical defense infrastructure, including facilities support services and computer systems design, ensuring alignment with Army readiness objectives. Her portfolio centers on enabling reliable ordnance production, machine tool maintenance, and fabrication of mission-critical metal components through compliant, performance-based contracting methods. Kennedy maintains consistent partnerships with a core group of specialized contractors, including AMD International Technologies LLC, Faxon Machining, LLC, Palantir USG Inc., and Allied Metal Tech, LLC, each recognized for technical expertise in defense-grade manufacturing and systems integration. Her contracting approach favors long-term, performance-driven relationships with vendors capable of delivering high-precision components and mission-critical IT solutions under strict military specifications. These partnerships are cultivated through competitive, transparent processes that prioritize quality, reliability, and supply chain resilience. A strong advocate for socioeconomic inclusion, Kennedy directs over 87.5% of her acquisitions toward small business set-asides, with 62.5% specifically allocated to 8(a) competed contracts and 25% under the broader Small Business Set-Aside program (FAR 19.5). This reflects a deliberate strategy to empower disadvantaged businesses while ensuring access to niche capabilities essential to Army industrial operations. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a robust commitment to diversifying the defense supplier base through targeted socioeconomic programs. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), encompassing maintenance, logistics, and infrastructure support for ordnance production facilities, and NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), supporting digital modernization of manufacturing and supply chain systems. She specializes in procuring integrated solutions that bridge physical production environments with secure, mission-focused IT architectures.
