Peter D Haas

Peter D. Haas serves as a Contract Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R5 Acquisition Management Division, where he manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for federal facility modernization projects. His responsibilities include developing solicitation documents, conducting market research, evaluating proposals, and awarding contracts for construction-related and facility support services nationwide. Haas plays a critical role in executing the agency’s mission to maintain and upgrade federal infrastructure, with a focus on interior renovations, building systems upgrades, and mission-critical operations. He routinely handles complex acquisitions under FAR Part 36, including design-build and performance-based service contracts, ensuring compliance with federal construction standards and sustainability requirements. Haas maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors, most notably MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, a trusted partner for facility improvements and site development. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability, technical competency, and past performance, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in transparency and regulatory adherence. He engages with contractors across multiple tiers, including prime vendors and specialized subcontractors, to ensure seamless execution of multi-disciplinary projects involving mechanical, electrical, and environmental systems. His contracting patterns reflect a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of procurements are unrestricted, Haas actively prioritizes small business participation, particularly when market conditions support competitive small business responses. He does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, but consistently ensures small businesses are included as subcontractors or team members in larger contracts. Haas’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors) and 238290 (Other Building Equipment Contractors), reflecting his expertise in building systems modernization. He also frequently procures janitorial services (561720) and facilities support services (561210), with occasional contracts for fire protection (922160). His technical domain centers on integrated facility operations, ensuring compliance with GSA sustainability mandates and federal building codes.
