Kevin Ham

Kevin E. Ham serves as a Purchasing Agent for the Commanding General under the Department of the Navy, responsible for executing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain operational readiness across naval and marine forces. His procurement activities center on maintenance, logistics, and specialized technical services essential to preserving combat systems, mobility assets, and expeditionary infrastructure. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts under FAR Part 13 streamlined procedures and competitive solicitation methods, ensuring timely delivery of mission-enabling goods and services in both garrison and deployed environments. Ham maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including MANCON LLC, GEMINI TECH SERVICES LLC, CHEMBLE SOLUTIONS, LLC, MICROTECHNOLOGIES LLC, and SAELIG COMPANY, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in industrial equipment repair, technical instrumentation, and niche support services. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability, responsiveness, and technical compliance, often leveraging long-standing vendor capabilities to meet urgent operational demands while maintaining rigorous contract performance standards. His contracting patterns demonstrate a balanced commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of his awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, he actively prioritizes small business eligibility, ensuring equitable access for firms certified under socioeconomic programs. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster innovation and resilience within the defense supply base while meeting mission-critical timelines. Ham’s primary NAICS focus includes Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance (811310), with significant activity in Musical Groups and Artists (711130) to support morale, welfare, and recreation programs for service members. Additional specialization spans professional technical services (541990), showcase and locker manufacturing (337215), and niche information services (519130), indicating a broad yet targeted approach to sustaining both operational and quality-of-life infrastructure across naval installations.
