Martin Hauch

Martin Hauch serves as a procurement specialist within the DSC Contracting Services Division of the National Park Service, overseeing acquisitions critical to the preservation and modernization of national park infrastructure. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on facility rehabilitation, utility system upgrades, and construction services across ecologically sensitive and remote sites. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to maintain historic structures and enhance visitor accessibility while ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and environmental stewardship standards. Hauch routinely handles complex, multi-year projects requiring technical expertise in civil works, building systems, and site development. Hauch maintains consistent relationships with leading engineering and construction firms including AECOM Technical Services, Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson, HDR Engineering, and McKenzie Construction & Site Development. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with demonstrated experience in historic preservation, water and sewer infrastructure, and institutional building construction. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, performance-based outcomes, and adherence to NPS-specific design and sustainability guidelines, ensuring projects meet both functional and cultural resource protection requirements. His procurement strategy prioritizes small business participation, with over 43% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and an additional 6.3% designated for women-owned small businesses. While half of his contracts remain open to all competitors, his consistent use of socioeconomic set-asides underscores a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and minority-owned contractors in the federal conservation space. Hauch’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), and 561320 (Temporary Help Services), reflecting a strong emphasis on skilled trades, facility maintenance, and labor support for field operations. He frequently procures services related to structural rehabilitation, HVAC system modernization, and site development for visitor centers and utility networks, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with the unique challenges of maintaining infrastructure in protected natural areas.
