Michael Frego

Michael Frego serves as a Program Analyst within the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), supporting the agency’s mission to ensure rapid, resilient disaster response and recovery operations. In this role, he plays a critical part in the acquisition lifecycle for mission-critical logistics and transportation services, particularly those enabling the movement of emergency supplies, medical equipment, and temporary shelter systems. His responsibilities include analyzing procurement requirements, evaluating contractor performance, and ensuring alignment with FEMA’s strategic priorities in operational continuity and infrastructure restoration. Frego primarily handles complex, time-sensitive acquisitions under FAR Part 13 and Part 17 authorities, often involving urgent operational needs during declared emergencies. Frego maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of logistics and transportation contractors, including FED SERVE LLC, EDGE TECHNOLOGY DISTRIBUTORS, INC., WS ACQUISITION LLC, VIDOVATION CORPORATION, and SAMSTAR LLC. These vendors are frequently engaged for their specialized capabilities in expeditionary logistics, secure freight movement, and emergency supply chain coordination. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability, scalability, and rapid mobilization, fostering long-term partnerships with contractors proven capable of operating under high-pressure, dynamic conditions during national incidents. Frego’s contracting activity reflects a strict focus on full and open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted without set-asides for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This reflects FEMA’s operational imperative to prioritize speed and capacity over socioeconomic preferences during crisis response, ensuring the most capable vendors are selected based on performance, readiness, and geographic reach rather than certification status. His procurement portfolio is exclusively concentrated in NAICS 483111 (Deep Sea Freight Transportation), indicating a specialized focus on oceanic and intermodal cargo movement essential for deploying large-scale emergency resources from national stockpiles to disaster zones. Frego’s expertise lies in managing complex maritime logistics contracts involving roll-on/roll-off vessels, containerized cargo, and port-to-site distribution networks critical to FEMA’s national response architecture.
