Kevin Hann

Kevin Hann serves as a Contract Specialist at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Philadelphia Division (NAVSWC PHIL), where he plays a pivotal role in acquiring mission-critical engineering and systems integration capabilities for U.S. Navy surface ships. He manages the full lifecycle of complex procurements spanning shipboard propulsion, damage control, ballast systems, and industrial control infrastructure, ensuring alignment with Navy operational readiness goals. His work supports the development, testing, and sustainment of advanced electronic and mechanical systems essential to modern naval platforms, often coordinating with technical engineers and program managers to define performance-based requirements and select appropriate contract vehicles under FAR Part 15. Kevin regularly collaborates with a core group of prime contractors including Fairbanks Morse, LLC, Leidos, Inc., Rolls-Royce Corporation, G.S.E. Dynamics, Inc., and Kampi Components Co Inc, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in technical expertise and reliable delivery of high-integrity components and systems. These relationships are typically established through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated acquisitions, with a strong emphasis on technical compliance, risk mitigation, and lifecycle support for mission-essential hardware and integrated subsystems. His contracting portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 87.5% of awards issued without set-asides, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic preferences. However, he consistently supports small business participation, with 12.5% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, ensuring qualified small firms have access to niche opportunities in naval systems procurement. Kevin’s primary NAICS focus areas include sheet metal work manufacturing, shipbuilding and repair, navigation and guidance system manufacturing, miscellaneous fabricated metal product manufacturing, and electroplating and finishing services. His expertise lies in procuring precision-engineered components and integrated systems critical to naval platform survivability, performance, and modernization, demonstrating deep familiarity with defense-specific technical standards and supply chain requirements.
