Michael D Myers

Michael D. Myers serves as a Contract Specialist at NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Puget Sound, where he plays a critical role in executing procurement actions that sustain the readiness of U.S. Navy surface and submarine fleets. He manages the acquisition of mission-critical marine engineering systems, industrial control components, and precision-fabricated hardware essential to vessel integrity and operational longevity. His portfolio encompasses complex technical procurements under the Department of the Navy, requiring deep familiarity with defense acquisition regulations, performance-based contracting, and technical specification development for mechanical and electro-mechanical systems. Myers maintains established working relationships with key industry partners including Timken Gears & Services Inc., Curtiss-Wright Electro-Mechanical Corp, Bellingham Marine Industries, Palfinger Marine USA, and Jered LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on high-reliability suppliers capable of delivering certified marine-grade components, industrial control systems, and specialized lifting equipment. His contracting approach emphasizes vendor performance accountability, technical compliance, and long-term sustainment support, ensuring alignment with naval engineering standards and lifecycle maintenance requirements. His procurement strategy prioritizes broad market competition, with over half of awards issued under open, no-set-aside conditions. However, he consistently supports small business participation, with nearly 43% of contracts structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and an additional 4.3% awarded through 8(a) competed pathways. This balance demonstrates a deliberate effort to foster competition while enabling qualified small businesses to contribute to naval sustainment missions. Myers specializes in procurements governed by NAICS codes 335314 (relay and industrial control manufacturing), 332919 (metal valve and pipe fitting manufacturing), and 333992 (welding and soldering equipment manufacturing), reflecting expertise in industrial automation, fluid control systems, and fabrication equipment. He routinely sources precision-fabricated hardware, crane and hoist systems, and industrial supply chain components critical to shipboard maintenance and modernization programs.
