Michael Collazo

Michael Collazo serves as a key procurement lead for the Commanding Officer (N63394) under the Department of the Navy, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize naval aviation and electronic warfare systems. He oversees the procurement of mission-critical aerospace components, advanced electronic assemblies, sensor systems, and engineering services essential to maintaining operational readiness and technological superiority. His portfolio centers on high-stakes, technically complex contracts requiring rigorous compliance with defense acquisition regulations, with a focus on integrating secure, next-generation communications infrastructure and avionics upgrades across fleet platforms. Collazo maintains strategic relationships with leading defense contractors including Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, and Lockheed Martin Corporation, partnering primarily with prime vendors capable of delivering integrated aerospace and electronic warfare solutions. These relationships are characterized by long-term collaboration on technical specification development, rapid prototyping, and systems integration efforts requiring stringent security protocols and supply chain integrity. While major primes dominate award volume, he consistently engages a broader base of specialized subcontractors to ensure technical innovation and contingency resilience. His contracting approach reflects a balanced commitment to small business participation, with approximately one-third of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, enabling qualified small firms to compete for engineering and logistics consulting opportunities. He does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead prioritizing broad small business eligibility to foster competition among technically capable firms without socioeconomic restrictions. Collazo’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), 541614 (Process and Logistics Consulting), and 334511 (Aeronautical and Nautical System Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in avionics integration, mission systems engineering, and supply chain logistics for naval platforms. He routinely procures radar and electronic countermeasure assemblies, secure data links, and embedded software systems critical to airborne and shipboard warfare capabilities.
