Rebecca H Hartge

Rebecca H. Hartge serves as a key procurement professional responsible for managing complex acquisitions within the defense and military logistics sector. Her work centers on securing specialized equipment and components critical to national defense readiness, with a focus on armored vehicle systems, ordnance, and military vehicle parts. She plays a pivotal role in executing acquisitions aligned with federal contracting regulations, ensuring compliance with FAR provisions while delivering mission-critical capabilities to defense operations. Her portfolio includes high-technical-demand procurements requiring rigorous engineering oversight and supply chain validation, often involving classified or controlled technical data. Her contractor relationships are primarily with defense industrial base manufacturers specializing in military-grade hardware, including firms engaged in armored vehicle assembly, small arms production, and precision ordnance component fabrication. She engages with both large prime contractors and qualified small businesses capable of meeting stringent military specifications, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in quality assurance, delivery reliability, and compliance with defense acquisition standards. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and technical fidelity over cost alone. Hartge exhibits a strong preference for open competition, with over 81% of her acquisitions conducted without set-aside restrictions. However, she actively supports socioeconomic programs, consistently awarding contracts to Total Small Business Set-Asides, Women-Owned Small Businesses, and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, reflecting a balanced commitment to broadening vendor participation while maintaining mission effectiveness. Her socioeconomic contracting patterns demonstrate intentional inclusion of certified small businesses without compromising operational requirements. Her technical domain expertise lies in NAICS sectors focused on military vehicle manufacturing, particularly armored vehicle and tank component production (336992), ordnance systems (332994), and specialized motor vehicle parts (336390). She procures high-integrity, combat-rated components requiring compliance with MIL-SPEC and DoD certification standards, demonstrating deep familiarity with defense supply chain dynamics and ruggedized engineering requirements.
