Jason Hardman

Jason M. Hardman serves as a key procurement professional within the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS), supporting the agency’s mission to deliver secure, audit-ready financial systems and payment infrastructure across the Department of Defense. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on modernizing financial automation, enhancing compliance reporting, and sustaining mission-critical IT and facility services. His work ensures fiscal accountability through strategic contracting that aligns with DFAS’s priorities in system modernization and operational readiness, often involving complex, multi-year contracts for technical and professional services. Hardman maintains consistent relationships with a range of contractors, including Soderberg Company Inc., Ecology Mir Group LLC, Bloomberg Industry Group, Inc., and Roche Diagnostics Corporation, reflecting a mix of specialized technical, analytical, and operational support vendors. His procurement patterns indicate collaboration with firms providing data analytics, compliance reporting tools, facility maintenance, and communications infrastructure—suggesting a balanced approach between enterprise-level service providers and niche technical suppliers. These partnerships are typically structured to support long-term operational continuity and system integration. His contracting activity shows a strong emphasis on small business participation, with over one-third of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, while local area set-asides under FAR 26.2 represent a smaller but intentional component. Although the majority of acquisitions are unrestricted, his pattern demonstrates deliberate inclusion of small businesses in areas where technical capacity and geographic accessibility align with DFAS’s distributed operational footprint. Hardman’s procurement focus centers on NAICS codes related to computer peripheral manufacturing, wireless communications equipment, and facility services—including plumbing, heating, air-conditioning, and landscaping contractors. This reflects a hybrid need for both IT hardware infrastructure and physical plant maintenance to support DFAS’s nationwide financial operations. His expertise lies in bridging technical procurement for digital systems with essential facility services, ensuring seamless, mission-critical support across both virtual and physical environments.
