Janice M Haake

Janice M. Haake serves as a Contracting Officer within the Telecommunications Division (HC1013) of the Defense Information Systems Agency, where she plays a pivotal role in securing and modernizing the Department of Defense’s global communications infrastructure. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on mission-critical telecom systems, including secure virtual private networks, network modernization, and interoperable communications platforms. Her work directly supports DISA’s mandate to ensure resilient, high-capacity connectivity across military and federal operations, with a strategic emphasis on transitioning legacy systems to next-generation architectures. Haake routinely handles complex service-based contracts under FAR Part 12 and Part 37, prioritizing performance-based outcomes and lifecycle support. Haake maintains consistent working relationships with key industry partners including AT&T Technical Services Company, Inc., Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Liberty Communications, Inc., AOC Connect LLC, and Norfolk Fiber, LLC. These contractors provide end-to-end telecommunications engineering, network design, fiber deployment, and managed services tailored to DoD security standards. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical compliance with DoDIN standards, and integration of commercial-off-the-shelf solutions with classified environments, fostering reliable, scalable infrastructure solutions. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 66.7% of awards issued without set-asides. However, she consistently allocates 33.3% of opportunities as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding small business participation in defense telecom initiatives without relying on specialized socioeconomic programs like 8(a) or HUBZone. Haake’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), reflecting her specialization in integrated network services, cloud-enabled telecom architecture, and mission-critical systems integration. She procures services including network optimization, secure data transport, cybersecurity-enabled communications, and infrastructure-as-a-service solutions, aligning acquisitions with DISA’s strategic goal of achieving secure, agile, and interoperable global communications.
