Henry Tran

Henry Tran serves as a procurement specialist within the IT Contracting Division - PL83 of the Defense Information Systems Agency, where he plays a critical role in acquiring mission-critical IT infrastructure and software solutions that sustain and modernize DoD-wide information systems. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contract actions for electronic computer manufacturing and related defense IT services, ensuring secure, interoperable, and resilient computing environments for national security operations. He routinely manages complex acquisitions for hardware, firmware, and embedded systems that support command, control, communications, and cyber defense missions, aligning procurement activities with DoD digital transformation priorities. While specific contractor relationships are not currently documented, Henry engages with a broad spectrum of defense industrial base vendors capable of delivering high-assurance computing platforms, secure firmware, and hardened hardware systems compliant with DoD cybersecurity standards such as RMF and NIST SP 800-53. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established defense contractors with proven track records in producing trusted computing solutions, often requiring stringent supply chain integrity controls and compliance with DODI 8510.01. Henry’s procurement activity is exclusively non-set-aside, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition, indicating a focus on technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic preferences. This reflects the specialized nature of the equipment procured, where national security requirements often necessitate access to advanced manufacturing capabilities and classified supply chains that may not be available within small business pools. His primary focus is on NAICS 334111—Electronic Computer Manufacturing—where he procures custom-built, mission-specific computing systems, secure servers, and embedded hardware platforms designed for tactical and strategic defense environments. His technical expertise lies in procuring systems that integrate with DoD networks under stringent TEMPEST, FIPS 140-2, and Common Criteria requirements, ensuring compliance with the highest levels of information assurance.
