DeHaven cultivates collaborative relationships with a broad spectrum of vendors, prioritizing small business participation and fostering partnerships with firms capable of delivering specialized construction, audiovisual, and food service solutions. While specific contractor names are not disclosed, his procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with firms possessing relevant technical expertise in civil works, institutional building, and event support services. He maintains a transparent, competitive acquisition process that encourages vendor responsiveness and performance accountability across all contract phases. A strong advocate for socioeconomic contracting, DeHaven consistently prioritizes small business set-asides, with 62.5% of his acquisitions designated for total small business participation and 12.5% reserved specifically for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. His contracting approach actively promotes equitable access to federal opportunities, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to FAR 19.5 guidelines and the broader goals of inclusive economic development within the defense community. His primary industry focus lies in construction and facility support, with significant activity in NAICS 237310 (highway, street, and bridge construction) and 236220 (commercial and institutional building construction), complemented by procurement in audiovisual equipment (334310), event promotion (711310), and food service contracting (722310). This technical breadth enables him to effectively manage complex, multi-disciplinary projects that integrate infrastructure, logistics, and community services.
