Michael G. Fredericks

Michael G. Fredericks serves as a Contracting Officer within the FA7000 10 Cons Lgc under the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing complex procurements that support advanced scientific research, cadet training, and facility modernization at the U.S. Air Force Academy. He specializes in acquiring precision instrumentation, laboratory equipment, and specialized technical systems critical to aerospace research and operational readiness. His portfolio encompasses high-accuracy measuring devices, data acquisition systems, and mission-critical computing infrastructure, ensuring the Academy maintains cutting-edge analytical capabilities. Fredericks executes full lifecycle contracting actions—from market research and solicitation to award and closeout—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-driven technical requirements. He maintains consistent procurement relationships with a select group of specialized vendors, including SAWASAWA LLC, BERNARD CAP, LLC, TEAL DRONES INC, BRANSCOME OPERATING, LLC, and LAVISION, INC., all of which provide niche technical solutions in instrumentation, unmanned systems, and data processing. His working patterns reflect a preference for established technical partners with proven expertise in aerospace-grade equipment and laboratory automation, indicating a focus on reliability, precision, and long-term support capabilities rather than broad-market vendors. Fredericks exclusively utilizes non-set-aside procurement mechanisms, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical merit and performance capability over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the mission-critical nature of the equipment procured. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-asides, his contracting approach remains compliant with all federal small business goals. His primary NAICS focus areas—811219 (Other Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance) and 518210 (Data Processing, Hosting, and Related Services)—reveal deep specialization in the maintenance and integration of high-end scientific instruments and secure computing infrastructure. He consistently procures calibrated sensors, real-time data systems, and laboratory automation platforms, demonstrating expertise in technical domains critical to aerospace education and research.
