Jeff Sorensen

Jeff Sorensen serves as a key procurement professional within the Department of Defense, supporting the agency’s mission to accelerate defense innovation through advanced research and engineering acquisitions. He specializes in managing complex, mission-critical contracts under the 541715 NAICS code, focusing on physical, engineering, and life sciences R&D that directly supports next-generation defense systems. His work spans the full acquisition lifecycle—from requirements definition to contract award and performance oversight—ensuring alignment with DoD’s agile acquisition pathways and technology modernization priorities. Sorensen’s portfolio emphasizes high-impact, technical solutions critical to national security, including analytical platforms, secure software architectures, and next-generation communications infrastructure. He maintains strategic relationships with prime contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, The Boeing Company, Huntington Ingalls Inc., Electric Boat Corporation, and Humana Government Business Inc., all of which are industry leaders in defense systems integration, shipbuilding, and mission-critical services. These partnerships reflect a preference for established defense industrial base vendors capable of delivering sophisticated, classified, and high-assurance technology solutions under stringent compliance frameworks. His contracting patterns indicate a reliance on full and open competition, with minimal use of set-asides, suggesting a focus on technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic preferences. Sorensen’s procurement activity shows no use of small business set-asides, including 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, indicating a singular emphasis on technical merit and system performance. His contracting approach prioritizes mission-critical outcomes over socioeconomic objectives, aligning with DoD’s urgent need for scalable, proven capabilities in high-consequence domains. His primary technical focus is research and development in physical, engineering, and life sciences, encompassing advanced materials, sensor systems, secure networking, and computational modeling. He procures highly specialized engineering services and prototype development contracts that feed directly into DoD’s modernization initiatives, particularly in cyber-resilient systems and autonomous platforms.
