Harold V Hawkins

Harold V. Hawkins serves as a Program Officer responsible for overseeing the acquisition of scientific and technical research services aligned with federal mission objectives. In this role, he acts as a key liaison between technical stakeholders and contracting personnel, ensuring that procurement strategies align with R&D priorities and regulatory compliance. He typically manages complex, performance-based acquisitions for advanced scientific studies, laboratory services, and engineering analysis projects, emphasizing outcome-driven contract structures such as cost-reimbursement and time-and-materials arrangements. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to advance innovation in physical, engineering, and life sciences through strategic sourcing. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Hawkins engages with a broad spectrum of research institutions, private-sector laboratories, and academic partners capable of delivering high-complexity scientific services. His procurement patterns suggest a preference for qualified vendors with demonstrated technical expertise in experimental design, data analysis, and protocol development, often requiring specialized certifications or past performance in federally funded R&D environments. He maintains a results-oriented approach, prioritizing technical capability over cost alone in source selection. Hawkins’s contracting activity reflects a 100% preference for non-set-aside procurements, indicating a focus on open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This suggests that his acquisitions are driven primarily by technical necessity and the need for specialized capabilities that may not be readily available within small business pools, though he remains compliant with all federal small business participation goals. His primary procurement focus is exclusively under NAICS 541712—Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Biotechnology). He routinely sources services including applied physics research, materials characterization, environmental modeling, and clinical trial support, demonstrating deep expertise in scientific and technical domains requiring rigorous methodology and peer-reviewed validation.
