Jeff Hart

Jeff Hart supports the Virginia Contracting Activity under the Defense Intelligence Agency by managing complex procurements that enable mission-critical intelligence operations. He specializes in acquiring advanced technical services including custom software development, systems analysis, and engineering research to support classified data exploitation and real-time intelligence processing. His acquisitions focus on high-performance computing, sensor integration, and specialized instrumentation critical to national security missions, ensuring the agency maintains technological superiority in intelligence collection and analysis. He works closely with technical stakeholders to translate operational requirements into solicitation language that attracts qualified, security-cleared vendors. While specific contractor names are not publicly available, Jeff Hart cultivates partnerships with a diverse pool of vendors possessing DoD clearance and expertise in defense-grade systems development. He engages both large prime contractors with established intelligence sector experience and specialized small businesses capable of delivering agile, niche solutions in software engineering and physical sciences R&D. His procurement approach emphasizes technical rigor, compliance with FAR and DFARS regulations, and vendor readiness for handling classified environments. Jeff demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 83.3% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides, reflecting the specialized nature of the technical requirements. However, he consistently allocates 16.7% of opportunities to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, prioritizing small businesses with proven capabilities in computer programming, scientific research, and precision instrumentation manufacturing. This balanced approach ensures access to innovation while maintaining mission-critical performance standards. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 611310 for advanced academic and professional research partnerships, 541511 for custom software and algorithm development, 541715 for physical and engineering sciences R&D, and 334519 for specialized measuring and control devices. These categories reflect his deep expertise in procuring next-generation intelligence systems requiring cutting-edge engineering, secure software architectures, and high-precision hardware solutions.
