Michael A Larson

Michael A. Larson serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition and market research to contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing agency mission objectives through efficient, transparent, and competitive contracting processes. His portfolio primarily encompasses service-based acquisitions, with a strong emphasis on professional, scientific, and business support services. Larson routinely handles task and delivery order contracts under GSA schedules and other indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms, ensuring timely and cost-effective procurement of mission-critical support functions. While specific contractor names are not available, Larson maintains a broad network of vendors specializing in facilities support, event management, and professional technical services. He engages with both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors, fostering collaborative relationships grounded in performance-based contracting principles. His procurement approach emphasizes competition, clear statement of work development, and robust contract oversight to ensure contractor accountability and service quality. Larson demonstrates a clear preference for open competition, with 93.3% of his awards issued without set-aside restrictions. However, he consistently supports socioeconomic programs, allocating 6.7% of his awards to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs), reflecting a targeted commitment to veteran-owned enterprise participation. His contracting patterns align with federal small business goals, balancing broad competition with intentional inclusion of eligible disadvantaged firms. His primary NAICS focus areas include Facilities Support Services (561210), Convention and Trade Show Organizers (561920), All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services (541990), and All Other Business Support Services (561499). These reflect deep expertise in procuring administrative, logistical, and technical support services, including event planning, facility operations, and specialized consulting. Larson’s domain knowledge centers on the delivery of non-clinical, mission-enabling services critical to organizational efficiency and operational readiness.
