Paul Hanna

Paul Hanna serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the acquisition of health insurance services under the Direct Health and Medical Insurance Carriers NAICS code 524114. In this role, he ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while facilitating the timely and efficient procurement of health benefit administration services, including claims processing, provider network management, and member services. His work directly supports the delivery of health coverage programs by engaging qualified carriers and service providers to meet mission-critical insurance obligations. He handles full lifecycle acquisitions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring alignment with federal health policy and fiscal accountability standards. Mr. Hanna’s contracting patterns reflect a broad, non-exclusive approach to vendor engagement, with no set-asides currently utilized across his portfolio. He routinely works with established health insurance carriers and third-party administrators that possess the infrastructure to handle large-scale enrollment, regulatory compliance, and actuarial risk management. His relationships are characterized by a focus on performance-based contracting, continuous evaluation of contractor capabilities, and adherence to FAR principles of fair and open competition. His procurement strategy is entirely focused on the open market, with no utilization of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic set-asides. This reflects a deliberate emphasis on selecting carriers based on technical competency, financial stability, and service delivery capacity rather than socioeconomic criteria. While small business participation is not a formal priority in his portfolio, all awards remain compliant with applicable small business goals and reporting requirements. Mr. Hanna specializes exclusively in NAICS 524114, procuring comprehensive health insurance products and administrative services from carriers that offer fully insured, self-insured, and hybrid health plan structures. His technical domain expertise includes managed care models, ACA compliance, risk adjustment methodologies, and health information exchange standards, making him a key steward of federal health insurance acquisition policy.
