Michael Collet

Michael Collet serves as a key procurement lead at U.S. Coast Guard Base Miami (70Z028), responsible for managing facility sustainment, infrastructure modernization, and operational support contracts critical to maritime mission readiness. He oversees acquisitions aligned with the Base’s mission to maintain aging maritime facilities, ensure vessel maintenance capabilities, and uphold base operational resilience. His portfolio primarily includes construction, maintenance, and testing services essential to sustaining Coast Guard infrastructure, with a focus on mechanical, electrical, and environmental systems that support national security and search-and-rescue operations. Collet maintains consistent partnerships with a core group of contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, PHOENIX MARINE LLC, ATZ SOLUTION LLC, and COMMERCIAL BLUE INC, reflecting a preference for firms with proven expertise in marine infrastructure, facility upgrades, and specialized maintenance services. His contracting patterns emphasize long-term vendor relationships built on technical proficiency, compliance with federal construction standards, and responsive service delivery. He frequently engages contractors capable of executing complex, multi-phase projects under strict operational constraints in high-traffic maritime environments. Collet demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 50% of his acquisitions structured as Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and an equal portion designated as Local Area Set-Asides under FAR 26.2. This dual focus ensures robust participation from small businesses and firms located within the regional economic footprint of South Florida, reinforcing both national small business policy and local economic development goals. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 721110 (Hotels and Motels) and 541380 (Testing Laboratories and Services), indicating a unique blend of lodging support for transient personnel and technical services such as environmental testing, structural inspections, and compliance certifications. This dual specialization reflects the Base’s need to simultaneously maintain habitability standards and ensure regulatory adherence for maritime infrastructure systems.
