John Haygood

John Haygood serves as a procurement professional within the 0410 AQ HQ Contract Office of the U.S. Army, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to sustain operational readiness through mission-enabling logistical and administrative services. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on hospitality, transportation, facility support, and technical maintenance services critical to both garrison and deployed environments. His work ensures seamless force support infrastructure by securing essential services that directly impact personnel welfare and mission continuity, aligning with the Army’s strategic priorities in force sustainment and readiness. Haygood maintains collaborative relationships with a broad spectrum of vendors, including specialized service providers in passenger car rental, translation and interpretation, and commercial machinery repair and maintenance. He engages with both large-capability contractors and small businesses, fostering partnerships that ensure responsive, scalable, and compliant service delivery across varied operational theaters. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and vendor accountability to meet dynamic Army requirements. His procurement patterns reflect a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate focus on empowering small businesses. While the majority of contracts remain open to all competitors, his consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a proactive effort to broaden vendor participation and enhance competition among qualified small entities. Haygood’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 532111 (passenger car rental), 541930 (translation and interpretation services), and 811310 (commercial and industrial machinery repair). These categories reflect his specialization in mobility support, linguistic enablement for multilingual operations, and maintenance of non-automotive equipment vital to installation functionality. His expertise ensures that procurement decisions are technically sound, operationally relevant, and aligned with Army-wide standards for reliability and readiness.
