Jamie Hare

Jamie Hare serves as a key procurement lead within the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Indian Head Division, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to advance ordnance systems, explosives handling, and precision instrumentation. Responsible for managing complex acquisition strategies, Hare oversees contracts for specialized engineering services, testing infrastructure, and mission-critical components essential to naval weapon system sustainment and modernization. Their work directly enables the development and certification of next-generation munitions technologies, ensuring compliance with rigorous safety and performance standards. Hare routinely handles sole-source, competitive, and set-aside acquisitions under FAR Part 19, with a focus on technical services supporting ordnance lifecycle management. Hare maintains consistent relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including TOTAL CONCEPTS OF DESIGN INC, Boh Environmental, L.L.C., CHUCKING MACHINE PRODUCTS, INC., CANADIAN COMMERCIAL CORP, and DEVAL LIFE CYCLE SUPPORT LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with deep expertise in ordnance manufacturing, environmental compliance for explosive facilities, precision machining, and long-term technical support. The contracting patterns indicate a reliance on niche suppliers capable of meeting stringent defense specifications, often involving classified or controlled technical data under ITAR and EAR frameworks. Hare demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, with 100% of acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate capacity among small, innovative firms capable of delivering specialized ordnance-related engineering and logistical services. There is no indication of use for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB subcategories, suggesting a broad small business focus aligned with capability rather than socioeconomic designation. The primary NAICS code for Hare’s portfolio is 221310 (Water Supply and Irrigation Systems), which, while seemingly incongruent, likely reflects the procurement of specialized water-based fire suppression, decontamination, and environmental control systems critical to ordnance storage and handling facilities. This specialization underscores deep technical domain expertise in safety-critical infrastructure supporting explosive operations.
