Linnen Hodo

Linnen Hodo serves as a key procurement professional within Navfacsyscom Southeast, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to deliver resilient, mission-critical infrastructure across the Southeastern U.S. and overseas operational areas. Responsible for managing complex acquisitions in environmental remediation, engineering, and professional technical services, Hodo ensures compliance with federal contracting regulations while aligning procurements with strategic facility readiness goals. Their work primarily involves soliciting and awarding contracts for environmental cleanup, site assessment, and base operations support, often requiring coordination with multiple technical stakeholders to meet stringent DoD standards. Hodo maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of established federal contractors, including BL Harbert International LLC, Walsh Federal LLC, Sauer Construction, LLC, McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, and Kira Aviation Services LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced firms with proven track records in military infrastructure support, environmental compliance, and aviation services. The contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluations, and long-term vendor reliability over transactional procurement. Set-aside preferences are heavily skewed toward open competition, with 90% of acquisitions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides, reflecting a focus on broad market competition and mission-critical delivery timelines. However, a consistent 10% of awards are reserved for 8(a) competed contracts, demonstrating a measured commitment to small business participation without compromising operational urgency or technical capability. The procurement portfolio is dominated by NAICS 562910 (Remediation Services), accounting for half of all activity, followed by 541990 (Other Professional Services) and 541620 (Environmental Consulting). Hodo’s expertise centers on complex environmental remediation projects, hazardous material management, and engineering support services essential to sustaining naval installations. Technical proficiency in regulatory frameworks such as CERCLA and RCRA, alongside deep familiarity with DoD environmental compliance protocols, underpins their acquisition strategy.
