Sarah Hatch

Sarah F. Hatch serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements validation and market research to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while advancing agency mission objectives through strategic sourcing. Her portfolio primarily encompasses information technology services, communications equipment, and specialized consulting solutions, with a focus on procuring complex, technical goods and services that support operational infrastructure and digital modernization efforts. Hatch works closely with program managers and technical evaluators to align contracting strategies with mission needs and regulatory constraints. While specific contractor names are not available, Hatch maintains a balanced procurement approach that engages both large prime contractors and small business vendors. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for competitive, open market solicitations, while actively incorporating socioeconomic programs to broaden vendor participation. She routinely collaborates with vendors offering custom software development, IT infrastructure management, and communications equipment, fostering relationships grounded in transparency, performance-based outcomes, and timely contract execution. Hatch demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly 44% of her awards directed toward set-aside programs, including Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and 8(a) competed contracts. Her use of these mechanisms reflects a deliberate strategy to promote economic opportunity and enhance competition within the federal marketplace. She consistently leverages socioeconomic authorities to ensure equitable access for small, disadvantaged, and historically underrepresented businesses, aligning procurement practices with national goals for inclusive growth. Her primary industry focus lies in NAICS 334220 (radio and television broadcasting and wireless communications equipment manufacturing) and 541513 (computer facilities management services), with additional emphasis on custom programming (541511) and logistics consulting (541614). This technical specialization indicates deep familiarity with telecommunications systems, IT operations support, and software development lifecycle services, positioning her as a subject-matter expert in procuring mission-critical digital infrastructure and technical services.
