Michael Hanley

Michael J. Hanley serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation and market research to contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports the agency’s mission by delivering specialized industrial and manufacturing solutions. His procurement portfolio centers on complex technical goods, particularly in metalworking, fluid power systems, and precision tooling, requiring deep technical understanding and rigorous source selection processes. Hanley maintains a broad network of vendors across the industrial manufacturing sector, engaging both large-capacity suppliers and small businesses capable of meeting stringent performance and quality standards. While no single contractor dominates his award profile, his working relationships reflect a preference for established manufacturers with proven capabilities in precision fabrication and engineered components. He consistently evaluates vendor performance, compliance, and past performance records to ensure mission-critical delivery timelines and quality assurance. His contracting patterns reveal a strong orientation toward open competition, with 92.9% of acquisitions conducted without set-aside restrictions. The remaining 7.1% are awarded under Total Small Business Set-Asides in accordance with FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but deliberate commitment to small business participation without compromising operational needs. He does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead prioritizing capability-driven competition within the broader small business base. Hanley’s primary NAICS focus areas include 332216 (Saw Blade and Handtool Manufacturing), 335929 (Other Communication and Energy Wire Manufacturing), 331491 (Nonferrous Metal Rolling, Drawing, and Extruding), 333996 (Fluid Power Pump and Motor Manufacturing), and 331318 (Other Aluminum Rolling, Drawing, and Extruding). His expertise lies in procuring high-precision industrial components, metal extrusions, and mechanical systems used in energy, automation, and defense applications, requiring familiarity with material specifications, dimensional tolerances, and quality control protocols.
