Scott Hansen

Scott Hansen serves as a Contract Specialist at the Naval Air Warfare Center, where he plays a pivotal role in acquiring mission-critical technologies that advance naval aviation systems. He manages the full lifecycle of complex procurements spanning research, development, testing, and evaluation of advanced avionics, sensor systems, and mission-critical software solutions. His work directly supports the agency’s strategic priorities in airborne command and control, avionics modernization, and simulation environments, ensuring acquisitions align with DoD acquisition regulations and technical requirements. Hansen specializes in engineering and systems integration contracts, often coordinating with technical stakeholders to define performance-based statements of work and evaluate technical proposals under FAR Part 15 procedures. He maintains established working relationships with leading defense and aerospace contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Jacobs Technology Inc., and Science Applications International Corporation, frequently partnering with these firms on large-scale R&D and systems integration efforts. His procurement approach emphasizes performance outcomes, technical rigor, and contract compliance, fostering long-term vendor collaborations that deliver innovative solutions under time-sensitive operational timelines. He also engages with mid-tier and emerging technology providers to ensure access to specialized capabilities in avionics, electronic warfare, and mission planning systems. Hansen’s contracting portfolio reflects a strong preference for unrestricted competitions, with 83.9% of awards issued without set-asides. However, he consistently supports small business participation, with approximately 14.5% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and a modest but intentional allocation to HUBZone firms. His approach balances mission urgency with socioeconomic goals, ensuring small businesses contribute meaningfully to high-impact programs without compromising technical performance. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), with significant activity in research and development (541715) and aerospace systems manufacturing (334511). He routinely procures advanced electronic systems, simulation software, mission planning tools, and integrated avionics architectures, demonstrating deep familiarity with defense-specific technical domains and acquisition frameworks.
