Michael A. Robinson serves as a Contracting Officer within the C5I Division 1 Alexandria of the U.S. Coast Guard, where he plays a pivotal role in acquiring mission-critical command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence (C5I) systems that underpin maritime domain awareness and operational resilience. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on secure IT modernization, satellite and telecommunications infrastructure, and enterprise software integration, ensuring alignment with Department of Homeland Security directives and DoD cybersecurity standards. His work directly supports the Coast Guard’s ability to maintain continuous operational readiness through resilient, interoperable digital architectures. While specific contractor names are not publicly available, Robinson maintains a balanced procurement approach, engaging both large defense and IT integrators and agile small businesses to deliver scalable, secure solutions. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for performance-based, outcome-driven solicitations, often utilizing Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) vehicles and Other Transaction Authority (OTA) mechanisms to accelerate innovation in C5I domains. He fosters collaborative vendor relationships grounded in compliance, transparency, and technical rigor. Robinson demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of his acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. His portfolio consistently prioritizes socioeconomic contracting pathways, favoring small business set-asides over other categories such as 8(a) or HUBZone, indicating a broad-based support for small business capacity building across the C5I supply chain. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), reflecting demand for specialized C5I engineering, systems integration, and cybersecurity services. Secondary focus areas include administrative management consulting and niche manufacturing, underscoring his expertise in procuring complex, non-standard technical solutions that support the Coast Guard’s evolving operational needs.
