Michael D. Cooper

Michael D. Cooper serves as a Procurement Analyst for the Department of the Air Force at FA2860 316 Cons Pk, supporting the sustainment of critical infrastructure and operational readiness at Joint Base Andrews. In this role, he facilitates the acquisition of security systems, communications hardware, and facility maintenance services essential to command, control, and communications (C3) capabilities for air operations. Cooper works closely with program managers and technical stakeholders to translate mission requirements into compliant solicitation documents, ensuring alignment with federal procurement regulations and Air Force-specific standards. His acquisitions primarily involve integrated security services, radio and broadcasting equipment, and audiovisual systems that support high-priority mission enablers. Cooper maintains consistent working relationships with a focused group of contractors, including ZERO WASTE SOLUTIONS, INC, SENECA MINERAL COMPANY, and PELICAN CHEMICALS INC., each providing specialized environmental, material, and chemical services critical to facility upkeep and safety compliance. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in reliability, regulatory adherence, and performance accountability, often leveraging task-order contracts and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms to meet recurring operational needs. Cooper exhibits a 100% commitment to small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, ensuring all solicitations are structured to maximize participation by small businesses, including those certified under 8(a), HUBZone, and WOSB programs. His contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity within the small business community while maintaining rigorous performance standards. His procurement focus is exclusively aligned with NAICS 813110 (Religious Organizations), indicating a unique and specialized application of contracting authority—likely involving facility support services for chapels, religious programming infrastructure, or faith-based community engagement assets on base. This niche specialization underscores his expertise in adapting standard procurement frameworks to meet non-traditional, mission-critical support requirements within a defense environment.
