Veronica Hannahs

Veronica Hannahs serves as a Contract Specialist within the W6QK Acc-rsa under the Department of the Army, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisitions for mission-critical aerospace and missile defense systems. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts supporting the modernization of U.S. Army aviation platforms, including the UH-60 Black Hawk and AH-64 Apache, as well as guided missile systems and associated avionics, propulsion, and sensor technologies. Her work ensures timely delivery of high-integrity defense capabilities aligned with Army modernization priorities, requiring deep familiarity with FAR and DFARS compliance, performance-based contracting, and technical evaluation processes. Hannahs maintains strong, ongoing relationships with prime contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation and Alaska Aerospace Corp, reflecting a consistent pattern of engagement with industry leaders in aerospace manufacturing and systems integration. She collaborates closely with these vendors to ensure technical alignment, schedule adherence, and risk mitigation across high-stakes programs involving classified and export-controlled technologies. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance outcomes, rigorous oversight, and long-term sustainment planning, fostering trusted partnerships with vendors capable of delivering advanced defense capabilities under stringent military standards. Her procurement portfolio reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for qualified small businesses in the aerospace sector. While the majority of her acquisitions are unrestricted, she actively leverages small business set-asides to cultivate a resilient, diverse supplier base capable of supporting niche technical requirements in missile and aircraft subsystems. Hannahs specializes in NAICS 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing), 336414 (Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing), and 336419 (Other Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing). She routinely procures advanced flight control systems, guidance electronics, propulsion components, and integrated sensor suites, requiring expertise in engineering specifications, technical data rights, and defense logistics. Her domain knowledge spans both airframe integration and missile system lifecycle support, positioning her as a key enabler of the Army’s aerial and missile defense modernization agenda.
