Hannah Kampwerth

Hannah Kampwerth serves as a key procurement professional within the IT Contracting Division – PL83 of the Defense Information Systems Agency, where she supports the acquisition of mission-critical IT services and software solutions essential to sustaining and modernizing DoD-wide information systems. Her work directly enables secure, interoperable, and resilient communication and computing environments for national defense operations. She specializes in managing complex service-based contracts focused on cybersecurity enhancements, legacy system modernization, and scalable software platform deployments, ensuring alignment with DoD digital transformation priorities and NIST cybersecurity frameworks. While specific contractor names are not publicly available, Kampwerth maintains a consistent contracting pattern centered on small business participation, with 100% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster innovation and capacity building within the small business ecosystem, prioritizing vendors that can deliver agile, specialized IT services tailored to defense mission needs. Her contracting approach emphasizes collaboration with firms possessing proven expertise in secure software development, systems integration, and mission support services. Her procurement activity is exclusively aligned with NAICS 561920 — Convention and Trade Show Organizers — a classification that, in this context, is applied to specialized event and engagement services supporting DoD IT modernization initiatives. These include contractor-led technical symposia, interoperability workshops, stakeholder coordination events, and demonstration forums that facilitate vendor engagement, requirements validation, and technology transition for defense IT programs. This unique application underscores her role in bridging technical communities and acquisition processes through structured, mission-aligned engagement events that drive informed decision-making and system readiness.
