Walker Hare

Walker Hare supports the W6QK Acc-apg Adelphi under the Department of the Army in managing critical acquisitions for advanced scientific and engineering research capabilities. Responsible for procuring high-precision laboratory instrumentation, secure computing systems, and mission-critical engineering services, Hare ensures alignment with the agency’s mandate to advance physical and engineering sciences for national defense. Their portfolio emphasizes technical acquisitions requiring stringent performance specifications, including electronic measurement systems, analytical equipment, and specialized R&D infrastructure, often involving complex technical evaluations and compliance with federal acquisition regulations for sensitive government applications. Hare maintains consistent partnerships with a select group of specialized vendors, including Physical Electronics USA, Inc. for vacuum and surface analysis systems, Illumina, Inc. for advanced biosensing instrumentation, and AMD International Technologies LLC for secure computing solutions. Engineering services are frequently sourced from Jaxon Engineering and Maintenance LLC and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC for facility-modification and lab support. These relationships reflect a preference for technically qualified contractors with proven expertise in defense-critical domains, often involving long-term service agreements and performance-based contracting methodologies. Set-aside preferences are heavily skewed toward open competition, with 90% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. However, Hare consistently allocates approximately 10% of opportunities to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but deliberate commitment to small business participation without compromising technical rigor or mission readiness. No preference is shown for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB designations, indicating a focus on capability over socioeconomic classification. The primary NAICS focus areas include 541715 for physical and engineering R&D services and 334516 for analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing, underscoring deep expertise in procurement of high-end scientific equipment and engineered research environments. Additional emphasis on engineering services (541330) and specialized manufacturing (336413) reflects a multidisciplinary approach to supporting cutting-edge defense science and technology initiatives.
