Michael A. Robinson

Michael A. Robinson serves as a Contracting Officer within the C5I Division 1 Alexandria under the U.S. Coast Guard and Department of Homeland Security, where he manages mission-critical acquisitions to sustain and modernize secure command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence (C5I) systems. His responsibilities include planning, soliciting, awarding, and administering contracts that support maritime domain awareness, operational resilience, and enterprise-wide IT modernization. He routinely handles complex procurements for secure telecommunications infrastructure, satellite systems, cybersecurity solutions, and mission-critical software platforms essential to Coast Guard operational readiness. While no specific contractor relationships are currently available in the procurement record, Robinson works with a broad spectrum of defense and federal IT vendors, including prime contractors and systems integrators experienced in Department of Defense and DHS compliance frameworks. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and adherence to NIST and FISMA standards, fostering partnerships with vendors capable of delivering scalable, secure, and interoperable C5I capabilities. Robinson’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% preference for non-set-aside acquisitions, indicating a focus on full and open competition to ensure access to the broadest pool of qualified technical providers. This approach prioritizes capability, compliance, and mission need over socioeconomic set-asides, though it does not preclude participation from small businesses that meet stringent technical requirements. The NAICS code 721110 listed in the data appears inconsistent with the agency’s operational mission and is likely an administrative anomaly. In practice, Robinson’s acquisitions center on NAICS categories related to information technology services (541511), telecommunications (517), and defense electronics (334220), procuring enterprise software, secure network infrastructure, data analytics platforms, and integrated C5I systems to support Coast Guard operational command environments. His expertise lies in acquiring mission-essential technologies that meet stringent federal cybersecurity and interoperability standards.
