Regina Hawkins

Regina Hawkins serves as a Contracting Officer for the W6QK Acc-rsa under the Department of the Army, where she plays a pivotal role in securing mission-critical aerospace and defense systems that sustain and modernize the U.S. Army’s aerial and missile defense capabilities. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for advanced avionics, propulsion systems, sensor technologies, and engineering services supporting platforms such as the UH-60 and AH-64 Apache. Her portfolio emphasizes complex technical procurements requiring rigorous compliance with defense acquisition regulations, including FAR and DFARS, with a focus on ensuring operational readiness through reliable, high-performance systems. Regina cultivates strategic partnerships with a diverse range of contractors specializing in aerospace engineering, avionics integration, and mission support services. While no single vendor dominates her award portfolio, she routinely engages with firms possessing deep technical expertise in aircraft modernization, electronic warfare systems, and precision instrumentation. Her contracting approach prioritizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and technical validation, fostering collaborative relationships with both large prime contractors and specialized niche suppliers capable of delivering mission-critical solutions under stringent military standards. Regina demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 20% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She actively promotes opportunities for small disadvantaged businesses and other socioeconomic categories, aligning with Department of the Army goals to broaden the defense industrial base. Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach—favoring open competition while intentionally reserving a meaningful portion of contracts to foster innovation and resilience within the small business community. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), where she secures advanced systems design and analysis, complemented by significant activity in 488190 (Air Transportation Support), 238290 (Building Equipment Contractors), and 334515 (Instrument Manufacturing for Electrical Testing). This technical alignment underscores her expertise in procuring integrated aerospace systems, sensor calibration equipment, and specialized infrastructure that directly enable the Army’s air defense and aviation modernization priorities.
