Shawn Haubner

Shawn P. Haubner serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QK Acc-apg Natick office of the U.S. Army, supporting the Department of Defense’s mission to advance soldier systems through specialized research, engineering, and technical services. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on mission-critical equipment, including flame-resistant textiles, analytical laboratory instruments, and battlefield medical devices. His work directly enables the development and fielding of next-generation soldier systems, ensuring warfighters are equipped with advanced, life-sustaining technologies. Haubner handles complex contract actions ranging from R&D services to specialized manufacturing, often requiring stringent technical compliance and rapid delivery timelines. He maintains established working relationships with EPERNAY DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION LLC and TEVET LLC, both of which provide high-value engineering, technical support, and specialized manufacturing services. These partnerships reflect a preference for contractors with proven expertise in defense-critical domains, including materials science, instrumentation, and systems integration. Haubner’s contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical capability, and performance history, fostering long-term vendor collaboration to meet urgent operational requirements. His procurement patterns show a strong preference for unrestricted competitions, with 94.5% of awards issued without set-asides, indicating a focus on broad market competition for technically demanding requirements. Only 5.5% of awards are structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, suggesting that while small business participation is supported, it is secondary to mission-critical technical performance and capability. Haubner’s primary NAICS focus areas include 313210 (Broadwoven Fabric Mills) for advanced combat textiles, 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) for battlefield diagnostics, and 541715 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences) for soldier system innovation. His expertise lies in procuring high-specification materials, precision instrumentation, and engineering services essential to enhancing soldier survivability and operational effectiveness.
