David L. Holbert

David Holbert serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition to contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while advancing agency mission objectives through strategic sourcing. His portfolio primarily encompasses professional services, particularly in training, information technology, and computing infrastructure, with a strong emphasis on performance-based contracting and competitive procedures. Holbert works closely with program offices to translate technical needs into solicitation requirements, ensuring transparency, fairness, and value in every acquisition. While specific contractor names are not available, Holbert maintains a diverse vendor ecosystem characterized by consistent engagement with both large primes and small business subcontractors. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for open competition, with the majority of awards issued under full and open procedures. He fosters collaborative relationships with vendors through clear communication, timely evaluations, and adherence to fair and impartial procurement practices, promoting trust and accountability across the supply base. Holbert demonstrates a measured commitment to socioeconomic programs, with approximately 15.2% of his awards directed toward small business set-asides, including Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, Women-Owned Small Businesses, and 8(a) competed contracts. Though the majority of his acquisitions remain unrestricted, his consistent use of small business set-asides reflects a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for disadvantaged and underserved firms while maintaining competition and quality outcomes. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training), NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), and NAICS 518210 (Computing Infrastructure Providers), indicating deep expertise in workforce development, IT consulting, and cloud-enabled services. He routinely procures training solutions, software development, data hosting, and systems integration services, aligning acquisitions with evolving digital transformation goals across federal operations.
