Michael Dobbins

Michael Dobbins serves as a key procurement lead within the Commanding General’s office under the Department of the Navy, overseeing the acquisition of mission-critical maintenance, logistics, and specialized support services essential to naval and marine operational readiness. His portfolio centers on sustaining combat systems, mobility assets, and expeditionary infrastructure through timely and compliant contracting actions. He manages a diverse range of acquisitions—including industrial equipment repair, niche transportation services, and technical support—ensuring alignment with DoD sustainment priorities and regulatory frameworks under FAR and DFARS. His role is pivotal in bridging field readiness requirements with strategic sourcing initiatives across garrison and deployed environments. Dobbins maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including MANCON LLC, GEMINI TECH SERVICES LLC, CHEMBLE SOLUTIONS, LLC, MICROTECHNOLOGIES LLC, and SAELIG COMPANY, INC., each providing specialized capabilities in equipment maintenance, technical logistics, and mission-enabling systems. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in naval support domains, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in performance reliability and regulatory compliance. These relationships are cultivated through competitive and non-competitive mechanisms, often leveraging indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles and task order contracting. Dobbins demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over half of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, complemented by a notable emphasis on service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB). His socioeconomic contracting strategy prioritizes inclusion of certified small businesses while maintaining competitive integrity, balancing compliance with mission-critical delivery timelines. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 562991 (septic tank and related services), 481219 (other nonscheduled air transportation), and 811310 (commercial and industrial machinery repair), reflecting a unique blend of environmental, mobility, and industrial maintenance needs. He specializes in procuring niche technical services that support expeditionary force sustainment, including non-automotive equipment repair, specialized logistics support, and mission-specific technical instrumentation—ensuring operational continuity across diverse naval environments.
