Margaret E Mickey

Margaret E. Mickey serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing complex acquisitions within the transportation and industrial manufacturing sectors. Though her specific title and agency are not publicly disclosed, her contracting patterns indicate a central role in executing strategic procurements aligned with federal acquisition regulations. She oversees the full lifecycle of contracts for specialized equipment and components, ensuring compliance with statutory requirements and mission-driven delivery timelines. Her portfolio consistently supports critical infrastructure and vehicle systems, reflecting a focus on high-integrity, technically demanding procurements. Her contractor relationships are primarily with manufacturers of transportation equipment and fastening systems, including firms specializing in bolt, nut, and rivet production as well as motor vehicle body fabrication. While no single vendor dominates her award history, she engages a broad base of industrial suppliers, ranging from established mid-tier manufacturers to niche producers with specialized engineering capabilities. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical qualification, supply chain reliability, and adherence to quality standards, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance and compliance. Margaret demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 78.6% of her awards issued without set-aside restrictions. However, she actively supports small business participation, allocating 21.4% of her contracts to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced commitment to maximizing competition while ensuring meaningful opportunities for qualified small manufacturers, though no evidence suggests targeted use of 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336999 (All Other Transportation Equipment Manufacturing), with significant activity in 332722 (Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing) and 336211 (Motor Vehicle Body Manufacturing). She specializes in procuring precision-engineered components and integrated vehicle systems, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with materials specifications, assembly standards, and regulatory compliance in industrial manufacturing. Her expertise centers on acquiring mission-critical hardware requiring rigorous testing and certification.
