Kristi Hanna

Kristi Hanna serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing complex acquisitions in defense and industrial technology sectors, aligning with national priorities in aerospace and advanced manufacturing. She oversees the full lifecycle of contracting actions—from market research and solicitation to award and performance monitoring—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical requirements. Her portfolio centers on high-precision components, maintenance services, and specialized testing equipment, supporting operational readiness across critical infrastructure domains. Hanna’s work directly enables the acquisition of mission-enabling systems that require rigorous technical validation and supply chain integrity. Her contractor relationships span a diverse base of industrial suppliers and technical service providers, with frequent engagement with manufacturers of aircraft subsystems, industrial machinery repair specialists, and independent testing laboratories. While no single contractor dominates her award portfolio, she consistently cultivates partnerships with firms possessing specialized technical certifications and proven capability in precision engineering. Her approach emphasizes vendor performance accountability, technical compliance, and supply chain resilience, fostering long-term collaborations with firms capable of meeting stringent quality and delivery standards. Hanna demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly 39% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She prioritizes opportunities for small businesses with relevant technical expertise, particularly those capable of delivering niche manufacturing and maintenance services. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to expand the supplier base among qualified small firms, avoiding overreliance on large primes while ensuring competitive, innovative solutions. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 for aircraft component manufacturing, followed by industrial machinery repair (811310) and testing services (541380). She routinely procures avionics subsystems, calibration equipment, machine tools, and precision control devices, demonstrating deep familiarity with aerospace and industrial engineering domains. Her expertise ensures acquisitions meet exacting technical specifications while supporting national security and industrial base sustainability.
