Jacob Benhoff

Jacob Benhoff serves as a key procurement lead within the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), supporting the agency’s mission to deliver secure, scalable, and resilient computing infrastructure for the Department of Defense. He manages the acquisition of enterprise-level computing services critical to the DoD’s cloud modernization and secure data processing initiatives. His portfolio centers on high-assurance, mission-critical IT services that enable classified and unclassified operations across the joint force, with a focus on contract vehicles that ensure compliance with DoD cybersecurity standards such as NIST SP 800-53 and CMMC. Benhoff routinely oversees complex, performance-based acquisitions for infrastructure-as-a-service, data center modernization, and hybrid cloud environments. His primary contractor relationship is with Oracle America, Inc., reflecting a strategic reliance on enterprise-grade cloud platforms, data processing systems, and secure hosting solutions. He engages with large prime contractors capable of delivering integrated, scalable infrastructure under stringent DoD security requirements, often through Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contracts and Other Transaction Authority (OTA) mechanisms. His procurement approach emphasizes vendor performance, system interoperability, and continuous compliance with Defense Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Process (DIACAP) standards. Benhoff’s contracting activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven priority for technical capability, scalability, and rapid deployment over socioeconomic preferences, consistent with DISA’s need for proven, high-assurance solutions in time-sensitive operational environments. His procurement focus is exclusively on NAICS 518210—Computing Infrastructure Providers, Data Processing, Web Hosting, and Related Services. He specializes in acquiring secure cloud platforms, data center services, enterprise data processing systems, and managed IT infrastructure that support DISA’s enterprise cloud and network modernization goals, demonstrating deep expertise in secure, scalable IT service delivery for national defense.
