Michael R. Bailey

Michael R. Bailey supports the procurement mission of the Department of the Air Force’s FA3099 47 Conf Cc, managing acquisitions critical to sustaining airfield infrastructure, facility integrity, and operational readiness across Air Force installations. He oversees construction, engineering, and logistical support contracts that ensure mission-critical aviation operations remain uninterrupted, with a focus on capital improvements, base-wide modernization, and specialized technical services. His portfolio encompasses complex, mission-aligned procurements requiring stringent compliance with federal construction standards and defense-specific logistics frameworks. Bailey maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including AR6 CONSTRUCTION & ENGINEERING, LLC and HORSEPOWER GEOSPATIAL LLC, partnering with firms that deliver high-reliability construction, geospatial analysis, and infrastructure resilience solutions. These vendor relationships reflect a preference for proven performers with demonstrated expertise in military-grade facility upgrades and precision geospatial support, indicating a pattern of awarding contracts based on technical capability, past performance, and compliance with defense-specific requirements rather than sole-source mechanisms. His contracting approach prioritizes broad market competition, with 61.9% of awards issued without set-asides and 38.1% allocated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This balance underscores a deliberate commitment to small business participation while maintaining flexibility to secure mission-critical capabilities from the most qualified sources, regardless of socioeconomic designation. Bailey’s procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 335311 (power transformer manufacturing), 511210 (software publishing), and 336412 (aircraft engine parts manufacturing), reflecting a technical domain spanning electrical infrastructure, mission-critical software systems, and aviation component supply chains. He also regularly procures services under 237310 (highway and bridge construction) and 337214 (office furniture manufacturing), indicating a diverse operational footprint that blends defense engineering with facility sustainment needs.
