Michael R. Huck

Michael R. Huck serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of complex procurement actions within a federal entity focused on energy and transportation infrastructure. He executes competitive and non-competitive acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, ensuring compliance with statutory requirements while aligning contract awards with operational mission needs. His portfolio primarily encompasses energy production, logistics, and freight transportation services, requiring deep technical understanding of industrial operations and supply chain dynamics. Huck plays a critical role in translating agency requirements into solicitation documents, evaluating technical proposals, and negotiating contract terms to achieve optimal value and performance outcomes. While specific contractor names are not available, Huck maintains consistent working relationships with firms specializing in petroleum refining, lubricant manufacturing, and long-haul freight transportation. His procurement activities involve engaging with both large industrial contractors and mid-tier logistics providers, often requiring specialized certifications in hazardous materials handling, environmental compliance, and DOT-regulated operations. His approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and clear statement of work development to ensure accountability and service quality across geographically dispersed operations. Huck’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his awards issued under the “No Set-Aside” category. This indicates a focus on selecting the most qualified offerors regardless of socioeconomic status, prioritizing technical capability, past performance, and cost-effectiveness over set-aside programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. While small business participation is not formally targeted, his acquisitions remain accessible to all eligible vendors through full and open competition. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 324110 (Petroleum Refineries) and 324191 (Petroleum Lubricating Oil and Grease Manufacturing), reflecting expertise in energy sector supply chains. He also regularly procures specialized freight transportation services under NAICS 484230 and general long-distance trucking under 484121, demonstrating proficiency in managing multimodal logistics contracts requiring compliance with federal motor carrier safety regulations and fuel efficiency standards.
