Joshua Hodges

Joshua D. Hodges serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from solicitation through contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while advancing agency mission objectives through strategic sourcing. His portfolio primarily encompasses technical and engineering procurements, including complex systems and information technology solutions. Hodges works closely with program managers, legal counsel, and technical evaluators to develop sound acquisition strategies that balance performance requirements with fiscal responsibility and regulatory adherence. While specific contractor names are not available, Hodges maintains a broad network of vendors engaged in the design, manufacturing, and integration of advanced electronic systems and computer hardware. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for competitive, open-market procurements, with a strong emphasis on performance-based contracting and clear statement of work development. He routinely engages with both large primes and small business subcontractors to ensure technical innovation and supply chain resilience. Hodges demonstrates a clear commitment to small business participation, with approximately 16.3% of his awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. He actively leverages small business programs to foster competition and expand vendor diversity, though his portfolio is predominantly non-set-aside, reflecting a focus on broad market access and technical specificity over socioeconomic targeting. His approach aligns with agency-wide goals of maximizing value while maintaining compliance with socioeconomic contracting mandates. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334511 (aeronautical and navigation systems), 334111 (electronic computer manufacturing), and 334118 (computer peripheral equipment), alongside engineering services under NAICS 541330. He specializes in acquiring mission-critical hardware, embedded systems, and technical support services for defense and aerospace applications, demonstrating deep familiarity with technical specifications, test and evaluation protocols, and cybersecurity requirements in high-assurance environments.
