Gregory Holbrock

Gregory Holbrock serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex acquisition programs centered on scientific and technical research and development. In this role, he ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing mission-critical R&D initiatives across physical, engineering, and life sciences disciplines. His procurement activities encompass the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation development to award administration and performance oversight—typically involving non-commercial, high-technical-risk services requiring specialized expertise and rigorous evaluation criteria. He plays a pivotal role in aligning acquisition strategy with agency scientific priorities, ensuring timely delivery of innovative solutions through competitive and transparent processes. Gregory maintains a broad and diverse contractor base, engaging with both large prime contractors and niche technical firms capable of delivering advanced R&D services. His working relationships are characterized by a focus on technical capability, past performance, and compliance with federal acquisition standards rather than reliance on a limited pool of vendors. He frequently collaborates with firms possessing deep domain expertise in laboratory instrumentation, computational modeling, and experimental design, fostering partnerships grounded in performance accountability and technical innovation. His procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations. This indicates a strategic emphasis on selecting the most qualified offerors regardless of socioeconomic status, prioritizing technical merit and mission need over socioeconomic preferences. While he does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his approach remains compliant with all applicable small business policies and promotes fair competition. Gregory’s primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541712, encompassing research and development in the physical, engineering, and life sciences. He regularly acquires services such as applied scientific research, data analysis, prototype development, and technical consulting, often requiring advanced laboratory capabilities, specialized instrumentation, and interdisciplinary teams. His domain expertise lies in supporting cutting-edge scientific innovation through structured, performance-based contracting methods.
