David H. Haskett

David H. Haskett is a procurement professional responsible for managing acquisitions within the electric power generation sector, ensuring the agency’s energy infrastructure needs are met through compliant, efficient contracting practices. He oversees the full lifecycle of contracts for non-traditional and emerging electric generation technologies, coordinating with technical stakeholders to define performance requirements and evaluate vendor proposals. His role is central to advancing the agency’s mission of securing reliable, scalable, and resilient power systems through strategic sourcing and risk-managed procurement decisions. Haskett maintains a broad and competitive vendor base, engaging with a diverse array of contractors specializing in power generation equipment, grid integration systems, and energy storage solutions. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently fosters relationships with firms possessing technical expertise in distributed generation, microgrid deployment, and advanced turbine technologies. His contracting approach emphasizes transparency, competitive bidding, and performance-based outcomes, encouraging innovation while maintaining strict adherence to federal acquisition regulations. Haskett’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open, unrestricted competition, with 100% of his acquisitions awarded without set-aside designations. This indicates a focus on technical merit and operational capability over socioeconomic categorizations, suggesting a mission-driven approach where performance, scalability, and system interoperability take precedence over small business set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. His primary area of expertise lies in NAICS 221118 — Other Electric Power Generation — where he procures specialized equipment and services related to non-utility-scale power plants, including biomass, geothermal, and small-scale hydroelectric systems. He has deep familiarity with technical specifications for generation units, grid interconnection standards, and environmental compliance requirements, making him a key contact for vendors delivering advanced energy solutions outside conventional utility frameworks.
