Lewis Hansen

Lewis R. Hansen serves as Lead Contracting Officer, overseeing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions to support mission-critical agency operations. In this role, he is responsible for developing solicitation strategies, evaluating proposals, negotiating contract terms, and ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). His portfolio centers on professional services procurement, with a strong emphasis on efficiency, transparency, and equitable opportunity. Hansen manages complex contract actions ranging from firm-fixed-price to time-and-materials arrangements, often coordinating with program managers to align procurement outcomes with strategic objectives. While specific contractor names are not publicly available, Hansen maintains consistent relationships with a diverse pool of vendors, including small businesses, mid-tier service providers, and large prime contractors capable of delivering high-quality administrative and technical support. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and clear statement of work development, fostering collaborative vendor partnerships grounded in accountability and compliance. He frequently engages with contractors through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements, prioritizing value over cost alone. Hansen demonstrates a robust commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly 40% of his awards directed toward small business set-asides. His preferences include Women-Owned Small Businesses and Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate strategy to expand market access for underrepresented entrepreneurs. While no 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides are currently dominant, his consistent use of small business preferences signals a strong institutional alignment with federal small business goals. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 611710 (Educational Support Services), 561110 (Office Administrative Services), and 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), with additional activity in human resources and management consulting. He routinely acquires training support, operational workflow solutions, and IT system integration services, demonstrating deep expertise in procuring knowledge-based services that enhance institutional capacity and administrative efficiency.
