Michael Friedman

Michael Friedman serves as a Property Administrator for Lockheed Martin, responsible for overseeing the management, accountability, and compliance of government-furnished property within complex defense and aerospace contracts. In this critical role, he ensures adherence to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 45 and Department of Defense (DoD) property management policies, facilitating the proper custody, utilization, and disposition of government assets across high-technology development programs. His work directly supports mission-critical procurement operations by maintaining the integrity of the property control system, enabling seamless integration of contractor-delivered systems with federal infrastructure. Friedman collaborates closely with Lockheed Martin’s program management, finance, and supply chain teams to align property administration with contractual obligations and audit readiness. While he does not directly award contracts, his oversight influences vendor performance through rigorous property accountability requirements, fostering strong working relationships with prime contractors and tiered suppliers who must comply with stringent government property standards. His partnerships are primarily with large defense industrial base firms operating under cost-reimbursement and fixed-price incentive contracts. His procurement activities reflect a clear focus on non-set-aside acquisitions, with 100% of his property-related actions falling under unrestricted competition. This indicates a preference for established defense contractors with proven capacity to manage complex property systems, rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. Friedman’s technical domain is centered on NAICS 334111 — Electronic Computer Manufacturing — where he supports the acquisition and management of advanced computing hardware, embedded systems, and mission-critical avionics components. His expertise lies in the lifecycle management of government-furnished equipment used in aerospace platforms, signal processing systems, and secure communications infrastructure, ensuring alignment with defense industrial base standards and cybersecurity requirements.
