Tamar Haye

Tamar Haye serves as a Purchasing Agent for the Broward County Board of County Commissioners, where she plays a pivotal role in executing procurements that support critical public infrastructure and digital governance initiatives. Responsible for managing competitive bidding processes and ensuring compliance with state and federal procurement regulations, Haye facilitates the acquisition of goods and services essential to maintaining county-wide water and wastewater systems, transportation networks, and IT platforms. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission of operational resilience and modernization, with a focus on high-integrity procurement practices that prioritize transparency, efficiency, and public accountability. While specific contractor relationships are not currently documented in the procurement database, Haye engages with a broad spectrum of vendors across diverse sectors to fulfill agency needs. Her procurement approach emphasizes open competition and vendor diversity, fostering partnerships with manufacturers, wholesale distributors, and specialized service providers capable of delivering mission-critical supplies and technical solutions under tight public sector timelines and quality standards. Haye’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of procurements conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with Broward County’s procurement policy favoring broad market access over socioeconomic set-asides, though she remains attentive to small business participation when it aligns with technical requirements and competitive pricing. Her primary procurement focus lies in three NAICS categories: 332994 (Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing), 423210 (Furniture Merchant Wholesalers), and 519210 (Libraries and Archives). These reflect a unique blend of specialized equipment procurement, facility furnishings, and information services, indicating expertise in sourcing both physical infrastructure components and digital archival systems. Haye’s technical domain spans public safety hardware, institutional furniture, and digital preservation technologies, demonstrating a nuanced understanding of non-traditional public sector procurement needs.
