MSG Steven Hanley

MSG Steven Hanley serves as a key procurement lead within the W7NB USPFO Activity La Arng (W912NR), supporting the Louisiana National Guard’s operational readiness through the acquisition of mission-critical logistical and human services. He manages a portfolio focused on sustaining daily force operations by securing essential quality-of-life and administrative support functions, including dining, lodging, facility maintenance, and communications equipment. His acquisitions are strategically aligned with the agency’s mandate to ensure unit readiness through reliable, timely, and compliant contracting practices, often involving complex service-based requirements that demand nuanced vendor coordination and performance oversight. Hanley maintains consistent working relationships with a curated group of small business contractors, including Phoenix Prodigy Consulting Firm LLC, Old Arabi Cafe, LLC, Arabic Interpreters LLC, Contemporary Product Solutions, Inc., and Titan Specialized Services Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for niche, locally rooted vendors capable of delivering specialized services such as cultural liaison support, food service operations, and technical maintenance. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, cultural competency, and rapid response capability, fostering long-term vendor engagement built on performance consistency and compliance with federal acquisition regulations. He exclusively utilizes Total Small Business Set-Aside authority under FAR 19.5, ensuring 100% of his acquisitions are reserved for small businesses. This reflects a deep institutional commitment to socioeconomic equity and community-based economic development, with no awards issued under other set-aside categories. His procurement strategy prioritizes empowering small, often underserved businesses that align with the Louisiana National Guard’s geographic and operational footprint. Hanley’s contracting activity is entirely concentrated under NAICS 562991—Septic Tank and Related Services—indicating a highly specialized focus on environmental and sanitation infrastructure support for remote and transient military installations. This technical domain requires expertise in wastewater management, portable sanitation systems, and compliance with EPA and Army environmental standards, demonstrating his niche proficiency in sustaining operational environments through critical, non-combat infrastructure services.
