Michael D'Alessandro

Michael D’Alessandro serves as a Contracting Officer for the W6QK Acc-apg Natick facility under the Department of the Army, where he manages complex procurements critical to enhancing soldier systems and battlefield readiness. His portfolio centers on advanced technical acquisitions including protective gear, life-sustaining medical devices, and mission-critical instrumentation for combat environments. He executes full lifecycle contracting under FAR and DFARS guidelines, ensuring compliance with defense-specific requirements for safety, interoperability, and rapid fielding. His work directly supports the Army’s modernization priorities by securing innovative solutions in aerospace, engineering research, and specialized instrumentation. D’Alessandro maintains consistent contracting relationships with EPERNAY DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION LLC and TEVET LLC, firms known for their expertise in specialized manufacturing and technical services tailored to military applications. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capability in high-stakes, low-margin environments requiring rigorous quality control and rapid delivery cycles. These partnerships are typically non-competitive or limited-source, driven by technical specificity and operational urgency rather than broad market competition. His set-aside preferences are heavily skewed toward unrestricted acquisitions, with 92.9% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides, reflecting the technical complexity and limited vendor base in his domain. While small business participation is present at 7.1%, it is primarily through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a measured but deliberate approach to small business inclusion where technical feasibility permits. D’Alessandro’s primary NAICS focus includes Aircraft Manufacturing (336411), Other Computer Related Services (541519), and Search, Detection, and Navigation System Manufacturing (334511), underscoring his specialization in aerospace systems, embedded computing, and battlefield sensor integration. He routinely procures R&D services (541712) and specialized software solutions to support next-generation soldier systems, demonstrating deep technical fluency in defense electronics, avionics, and mission-critical instrumentation development.
