Bibb Names Haddad GSA’s Chief Acquisition Officer

WASHINGTON – U.S. General Services Administration Acting Administrator David Bibb today named Ted Haddad as GSA’s Chief Acquisition Officer, a position which becomes effective June 22, 2008.

“Acquisition issues are of course very important to GSA and all federal agencies,” Bibb said. “I’m very pleased Ted has agreed to take on this critical position. His experience in the private and public sectors make him an excellent person to head our team.”

Mr. Haddad is a member of the Senior Executive Service who has served in GSA’s Office of the Chief Acquisition Officer since 2007, most recently as Senior Advisor.  Prior to joining GSA, Mr. Haddad held senior positions in the private and public sectors. He was president of his own company, Nugget Consulting, vice president—public sector for Asynchrony Solutions, senior vice president—federal operations for CCD Online Systems, Inc., and marketing executive at IBM Federal Systems.  He has also served as an acquisition executive for the Office of the Secretary of the Air Force, where he provided oversight for the acquisition of all Air Force IT systems in the early 1990s.

 “I am humbled that President Bush has given me the honor of serving the public as GSA’s Chief Acquisition Officer,” Mr. Haddad said.  “We pride ourselves on giving best value to our government customers, and returning best value to the taxpayers.”

GSA's Chief Acquisition Officer is responsible for managing a broad range of acquisition activities including: ensuring compliance with applicable laws, regulations and policies; fostering full and open competition for contract awards; developing the acquisition workforce, and accountability for acquisition decision making.

Mr. Haddad received his Bachelor of Arts degree in mathematics from the University of Connecticut and served as an officer in the U.S. Air Force.
