Hannah Thompson

Hannah Thompson serves as a key procurement lead within the Commander (M00264) under the Department of the Navy, responsible for managing mission-critical technology acquisitions that sustain and modernize naval warfighting systems. She specializes in contracting for advanced computing, command and control architectures, and cyber-enabled decision support services, ensuring operational readiness through integrated systems engineering solutions. Her portfolio centers on acquiring technical services that enhance tactical computing environments, sensor interoperability, and secure communications infrastructure, aligning directly with the agency’s mandate to maintain technological superiority in contested domains. Thompson maintains consistent partnerships with a select group of specialized contractors, including Goldbelt Hawk L.L.C., Alex-Alternative Experts, LLC, Tnda Technologies Inc., BC Market Solutions LLC, and Biospace, Inc. These vendors provide niche expertise in systems integration, software development for defense applications, and mission-critical IT support. Her procurement approach favors established contractors with proven experience in naval and DoD environments, emphasizing technical proficiency, security compliance, and rapid deployment capabilities. Relationships are built on sustained performance and domain-specific knowledge rather than broad-scale competition. Thompson’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on accessing the broadest possible pool of technical talent and innovative solutions, prioritizing capability and readiness over socioeconomic classifications. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, her procurement process remains open to all qualified vendors, ensuring selection is driven by technical merit and mission alignment. Her primary focus lies within NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), encompassing systems engineering, software development, cybersecurity support, and data analytics for naval platforms. She procures services that enable real-time situational awareness, secure network architecture, and embedded computing solutions critical to modern naval operations, demonstrating deep expertise in defense-specific IT and mission systems integration.
