David Holbert

David Holbert serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition through contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and promoting efficient, transparent procurement practices. His portfolio primarily consists of professional services acquisitions, with a focus on information technology, management consulting, and training solutions. Holbert works closely with program managers and technical evaluators to align contracting strategies with mission objectives, ensuring that procurements are structured to meet both operational needs and regulatory requirements. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly identified, Holbert’s procurement patterns reflect a preference for competitive, open market engagements, with a significant portion of acquisitions conducted without set-asides. He routinely engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including large systems integrators, niche consulting firms, and small business providers, fostering a competitive environment that supports innovation and value delivery. His approach emphasizes fair and open competition while maintaining strict adherence to acquisition integrity standards. Holbert demonstrates a measured commitment to small business participation, with approximately 16.7% of his acquisitions designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Though he does not routinely utilize specialized socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his consistent use of small business set-asides reflects a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for qualified small businesses within his acquisition portfolio. His primary procurement focus lies in four key NAICS categories: 511210 (Software Publishers), 519130 (Internet Publishing and Broadcasting), 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services), and 611420 (Computer Training). These reflect a strong emphasis on digital content, software solutions, organizational advisory services, and workforce development training, positioning him as a specialist in technology-enabled services and knowledge-based procurement.
