Ashleigh E Haas

Ashleigh E. Haas serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while aligning acquisitions with mission-critical scientific objectives. Her portfolio primarily consists of complex research and development contracts requiring technical rigor and precise performance metrics, often involving interdisciplinary teams and advanced laboratory capabilities. Haas is known for her methodical approach to risk mitigation and her emphasis on clear, enforceable contract terms that promote accountability and innovation. Her contractor relationships are centered on high-caliber research institutions, private-sector R&D firms, and technical service providers with demonstrated expertise in physical, engineering, and life sciences. While no single vendor dominates her award profile, she consistently engages with organizations capable of delivering specialized scientific services, including laboratory testing, data analysis, prototype development, and engineering support. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for experienced, technically proficient vendors with proven track records in federally funded research environments. Haas’s contracting activity is exclusively non-set-aside, with 100% of her awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with the technical complexity and specialized nature of the work, where qualifications and capabilities take precedence over socioeconomic preferences. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her process remains fully transparent and compliant with all applicable socioeconomic regulations. Her primary focus is on NAICS 541712—Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Biotechnology). She procures advanced scientific services including experimental design, analytical instrumentation, computational modeling, and technical consulting, often supporting government-led innovation in areas such as materials science, environmental engineering, and applied physics. Her expertise lies in navigating the intersection of scientific rigor and federal acquisition compliance.
