Trey Hair

Trey Hair serves as the primary procurement lead for the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, overseeing the acquisition of critical technology and engineering services that support the modernization and resilience of North America’s interstate energy infrastructure. His role centers on managing complex contracts for cybersecurity enhancements, data analytics platforms, and grid monitoring systems aligned with FERC’s mission to ensure reliable, secure, and economically efficient energy markets. He routinely handles performance-based, task-order acquisitions under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles, prioritizing solutions that enable real-time grid visibility, market integrity oversight, and advanced threat detection. Hair maintains consistent working relationships with leading engineering and technology firms including Exponent Inc., Simpson Gumpertz & Heger Inc., and GeoComp, Inc., who provide specialized services in grid resilience analysis, computational modeling, and energy system diagnostics. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with deep technical expertise in energy infrastructure and data-driven decision support, often procured through competitive negotiated procedures under FAR Part 15. His procurement approach emphasizes vendor qualifications, past performance, and technical innovation over price alone. His contracting patterns show a strong emphasis on open competition, with 86.7% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, reflecting the specialized nature of the services required. However, he actively supports small business participation, allocating 10% of awards to total small business set-asides and 3.3% to HUBZone firms, demonstrating a balanced commitment to both technical excellence and socioeconomic goals. Hair’s procurement focus is concentrated in software publishing (NAICS 513210) and other computer-related services (NAICS 541519), with significant activity in data analytics, cybersecurity, and digital infrastructure solutions for energy markets. He frequently procures custom software platforms, real-time monitoring systems, and cloud-based data management tools essential for FERC’s operational oversight and grid modernization initiatives.
