William Hatch

William Hatch supports the procurement mission of the Battelle Energy Alliance under the U.S. Department of Energy, managing complex technical acquisitions essential to advancing nuclear energy innovation and scientific infrastructure. Though his formal title is not publicly designated, his role centers on securing professional, scientific, and technical services critical to next-generation reactor development, safety certification, and specialized instrumentation deployment. He oversees contract vehicles that enable research partnerships, licensing of proprietary nuclear technologies, and the integration of industrial-scale systems aligned with DOE’s national security and clean energy objectives. His acquisitions are predominantly non-commercial, requiring high levels of technical oversight and regulatory compliance. Hatch collaborates with a diverse array of scientific and engineering service providers, including national laboratories, nuclear engineering consultancies, and specialized R&D firms with expertise in reactor physics, materials science, and nuclear instrumentation. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-based agreements that support sustained technical engagement rather than transactional procurement. Vendor relationships are built on demonstrated technical capability, prior performance in nuclear environments, and adherence to stringent DOE security and quality protocols. Hatch’s procurement activity is exclusively classified under “No Set-Aside,” indicating a focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in his portfolio, this reflects the specialized nature of the services required—where only a limited pool of qualified entities possesses the necessary nuclear infrastructure expertise and security clearances. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541990, encompassing all other professional, scientific, and technical services. This includes nuclear safety analysis, reactor licensing support, radiation detection system development, and advanced modeling and simulation services. His domain expertise lies at the intersection of nuclear engineering, regulatory compliance, and mission-critical scientific instrumentation, ensuring acquisitions align with DOE’s strategic goals for advanced reactor deployment and national security.
