Alexander Havekost

Alexander Havekost serves as a key procurement specialist within the W6QM Micc-ft Drum under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing acquisitions of specialized sporting, athletic, and industrial goods critical to soldier readiness and training sustainment. He oversees the full lifecycle of contracts for high-performance equipment used in physical training, field operations, and logistical support, ensuring compliance with military standards and operational requirements. His role is central to the agency’s mission of equipping Army units with durable, mission-critical gear that enhances physical performance and force projection capabilities. Havekost maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of vendors including VPB LLC, LEGACY MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, LARC INDUSTRIES INC, and MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for specialized manufacturers and contractors with proven expertise in producing ruggedized athletic equipment, training infrastructure, and field-ready industrial goods. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, quality assurance, and long-term vendor collaboration to meet the demanding standards of military use environments. He maintains a strict 100% Small Business Set-Aside posture under FAR 19.5, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. All acquisitions are intentionally reserved for small businesses, fostering innovation and capacity building among niche manufacturers and service providers aligned with Army readiness objectives. This pattern underscores a strategic emphasis on empowering small, capable firms rather than large prime contractors. His procurement focus is exclusively concentrated under NAICS 339920—Sporting and Athletic Goods Manufacturing—reflecting deep technical expertise in the design, fabrication, and delivery of military-grade athletic equipment, obstacle course components, conditioning gear, and related field infrastructure. He ensures all acquisitions align with Army technical specifications and durability requirements for extreme operational environments.
