Marie Hahn

Marie Hahn serves as a key procurement professional within Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA HQ), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize the U.S. fleet through strategic acquisition of naval vessels and mission-critical systems. She manages complex contracting actions centered on shipbuilding, repair, and the integration of advanced naval electronics, ensuring technical compliance and lifecycle support for surface and undersea platforms. Her work directly enables fleet readiness and technological superiority by facilitating the acquisition of high-integrity, defense-grade systems aligned with Navy operational requirements. Hahn maintains long-standing relationships with leading defense prime contractors including Damen Shipbuilding & Cooperation B.V., Huntington Ingalls Incorporated, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, G.S.E. Dynamics, Inc., and Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC. These partnerships are primarily focused on large-scale vessel construction, systems integration, and engineering services for naval platforms. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical rigor, and risk mitigation, often involving multi-year, milestone-driven contracts that require close coordination between design, fabrication, and test phases. Hahn’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This indicates a focus on maximizing technical capability and industrial capacity rather than socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with NAVSEA’s priority to procure mission-critical systems from the most qualified and capable industry partners regardless of business size or certification status. Her primary contracting focus lies in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), accounting for 80% of her activity, where she oversees the procurement of warship hulls, propulsion systems, and combat integration infrastructure. The remaining 20% centers on NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), reflecting her involvement in naval command and control systems, embedded software, and digital shipboard architecture. Her expertise spans both traditional shipyard operations and next-generation naval electronics, making her a pivotal link between industrial capability and operational readiness.
