Donald Hadrick

Donald Hadrick serves as a key procurement leader within the Office of the Chief Procurement Officer at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, where he drives strategic acquisition initiatives aligned with the agency’s mission to advance equitable housing and healthy communities. He oversees the procurement of technology-enabled services critical to modernizing grant management systems, enhancing data analytics capabilities, and supporting digital infrastructure for housing and public health programs. His portfolio centers on complex, mission-critical IT services requiring high levels of customization, integration, and compliance with federal data standards. Hadrick ensures acquisitions are aligned with HUD’s strategic goals of operational efficiency and equitable service delivery across urban and underserved populations. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Hadrick maintains consistent relationships with a diverse pool of federal IT service providers, particularly those with expertise in custom software development, cloud-based data platforms, and systems integration for public sector environments. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, outcome-driven deliverables, and vendor accountability through robust statement of work definitions and continuous monitoring frameworks. He engages with both large systems integrators and specialized niche vendors capable of delivering scalable, secure, and interoperable solutions. Hadrick’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of awards issued under non-set-aside authorities. This indicates a deliberate focus on maximizing competition and value through full and open procurement, rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-aside mechanisms, vendors of all sizes are evaluated on technical merit, past performance, and ability to meet HUD’s stringent operational requirements. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), 518210 (Computing Infrastructure Providers), and 541519 (Other Computer-Related Services). He routinely procures bespoke software applications, cloud-hosted data processing platforms, and integrated digital services that support real-time grant tracking, performance analytics, and cross-agency data sharing—all essential to HUD’s digital transformation and evidence-based policy execution.
