Keary Haubner

Keary Haubner serves as a key procurement lead at the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard IMF, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize the U.S. Fleet through complex ship repair, industrial maintenance, and infrastructure modernization initiatives. Responsible for managing a diverse portfolio of contracts, Haubner oversees acquisitions critical to naval vessel readiness, including mechanical overhauls, system refurbishments, and heavy industrial construction. Their work directly enables mission-critical shipyard operations by ensuring timely delivery of specialized engineering services and durable industrial components, aligning with the Navy’s strategic priorities in fleet sustainment and infrastructure resilience. Haubner maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of high-capacity industrial contractors, including NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION, PACIFIC INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT CORP, XLEAGLE LLC, FAIRBANKS MORSE, LLC, and PHILIP RIEKE. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in naval-grade machinery, heavy fabrication, and shipyard-specific systems. The contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor reliability, technical compliance with naval specifications, and performance in high-stakes, mission-essential environments. While the majority of procurements (77.8%) are conducted as unrestricted acquisitions, Haubner demonstrates a deliberate commitment to small business participation, with 22.2% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern underscores a balanced strategy that prioritizes capability and capacity while actively fostering opportunities for qualified small businesses in the defense industrial base. The procurement focus centers on NAICS 811219 (Other Industrial and Commercial Machinery and Equipment Repair), 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), reflecting deep expertise in shipyard infrastructure, heavy metal fabrication, and industrial site preparation. Haubner’s portfolio consistently targets specialized services such as tank manufacturing, structural steel installation, and precision mechanical repair—domains requiring rigorous adherence to naval engineering standards and safety protocols.
