Michael Colesar

Michael Colesar serves as Chief of the Integrated Supplier Team, leading strategic procurement initiatives that align supplier capabilities with mission-critical operational needs. In this role, he oversees the end-to-end acquisition lifecycle for complex services and solutions, ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations while optimizing value and performance. He collaborates cross-functionally with program managers and technical stakeholders to define requirements, structure solicitations, and manage contractor performance, with a focus on agile, outcome-based contracting approaches. His team is instrumental in building resilient supply chains and fostering long-term vendor partnerships that support sustained mission readiness. Colesar cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse array of contractors, particularly those capable of delivering integrated, mission-critical services. He prioritizes vendors with proven expertise in delivering scalable, secure, and compliant solutions, often engaging both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors through teaming arrangements and joint proposals. His procurement pattern reflects a preference for long-term, performance-based contracts that incentivize innovation and accountability, with consistent engagement across multiple contract vehicles including IDIQs and BPA frameworks. His set-aside preferences reveal a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with equal emphasis on open competitions and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides. This balanced approach underscores his dedication to expanding opportunities for veteran-owned enterprises while maintaining competitive integrity. He actively promotes small business participation through mentorship programs, pre-solicitation outreach, and targeted market research to ensure SDVOSBs are positioned to compete effectively. While specific NAICS codes are not available, his procurement focus centers on professional, technical, and logistical services supporting government operations—likely encompassing areas such as systems integration, mission support, and managed services. His expertise lies in acquiring complex, high-stakes services requiring rigorous compliance, cybersecurity readiness, and performance-based management structures.
