Doug Hoffelt

Doug Hoffelt serves as Technology Transfer & Research Manager, overseeing the procurement and strategic alignment of research-driven technologies to support innovation pipelines and scientific advancement. In this role, he facilitates the transition of emerging technologies from laboratory environments to operational use, managing acquisitions for R&D services, specialized instrumentation, and testing capabilities. His procurement activities bridge federal research objectives with commercial innovation, ensuring that technical solutions meet rigorous scientific and operational standards. Hoffelt typically handles complex, performance-based contracts requiring deep technical evaluation and compliance with federal research protocols. While specific contractor relationships are not currently documented in the dataset, Hoffelt’s procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with firms specializing in physical and engineering research, industrial instrumentation, and analytical testing services. He collaborates with a diverse range of vendors—from established systems integrators to niche technology developers—often requiring ISO-certified capabilities and expertise in precision measurement, process control, and electrical signal analysis. His contracting approach emphasizes technical merit, scalability, and reproducibility over price alone, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in scientific rigor. Hoffelt’s contracting portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, reflecting a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic classifications. This indicates a procurement strategy prioritizing domain expertise and performance outcomes, with no preferential treatment afforded to 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally incentivized, vendors of all sizes are evaluated on technical merit, quality assurance, and ability to deliver mission-critical research infrastructure. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541712 (R&D in physical, engineering, and life sciences), with significant activity in 334513, 334511, and 334515, corresponding to industrial measurement, navigation, and electrical testing instrumentation. He procures high-precision sensors, laboratory control systems, and calibration services critical to national research initiatives, demonstrating deep expertise in scientific instrumentation and process automation technologies.
