Michael Davis

Michael D. Davis serves as a key procurement lead within the Telecommunications Division (HC1013) of the Defense Information Systems Agency, where he oversees the acquisition of mission-critical telecommunications infrastructure to support global Department of Defense communications. His responsibilities include managing complex contracts for secure network services, virtual private networks, and legacy system modernization initiatives that ensure resilient, high-capacity connectivity across military and federal operations. Davis plays a central role in executing DISA’s strategic imperative to enhance interoperability and cybersecurity across distributed command environments, focusing on acquisitions that align with DoD-wide telecommunications standards and emerging secure communications architectures. Davis maintains longstanding relationships with a core group of prime contractors including AT&T Technical Services Company, Inc., Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Liberty Communications, Inc., AOC Connect LLC, and Norfolk Fiber, LLC. These partnerships are primarily centered on the delivery of fiber-optic network deployment, secure data transport, telecom integration, and managed network services. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, with a preference for vendors demonstrating proven expertise in DoD-compliant secure communications, network resilience, and rapid deployment capabilities under stringent security protocols. His contracting patterns reflect an overwhelming reliance on full and open competition, with 99.1% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. Small business participation is minimal, representing just 0.9% of total awards, indicating a primary focus on technical capability and scalability over socioeconomic preferences. This reflects the specialized nature of the telecommunications infrastructure required, where only a limited number of vendors possess the necessary certifications, infrastructure, and operational experience to meet mission-critical DoD requirements. The technical domain centers on advanced telecom services, including secure IP backbone deployment, encrypted voice and data transport, satellite and terrestrial network integration, and fiber-based connectivity solutions. While NAICS codes are not available, the acquisitions consistently align with telecommunications engineering, network systems integration, and secure infrastructure modernization—domains requiring deep expertise in DoD security standards, FISMA compliance, and Joint Force network interoperability.
