Michael Harris

Michael Harris serves as a key procurement lead within the Department of the Navy, overseeing the acquisition of mission-critical wireless telecommunications systems and related infrastructure to support naval operational readiness. His role centers on securing advanced communication networks, embedded sensor interfaces, and cyber-resilient data transmission platforms that enable fleet-wide situational awareness and command-and-control capabilities. He manages complex contract vehicles for high-assurance wireless systems, including secure radio frequency modules, tactical mesh networks, and integrated satellite-terrestrial backhaul solutions, ensuring alignment with Navy modernization priorities and DoD cybersecurity standards. His primary contractor relationships are with industry leaders including RTX Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, Electric Boat Corporation, Huntington Ingalls Inc, and Bath Iron Works Corporation—organizations with deep expertise in naval systems integration, defense-grade communications, and shipboard electronics. Harris consistently engages these prime contractors for turnkey solutions that require rigorous MIL-STD compliance, long-term sustainment planning, and secure supply chain controls. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, technical evaluation panels, and risk-mitigated source selection for high-stakes, low-latency communication architectures. Michael Harris does not utilize any socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of his acquisitions awarded through full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on technical superiority and industrial capacity over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing proven capability and mission-critical reliability above all other factors in source selection. His procurement activity is exclusively aligned with NAICS 517112 (Wireless Telecommunications Carriers, except Satellite), underscoring his specialization in terrestrial and ship-integrated wireless infrastructure. He procures advanced RF components, encrypted data links, software-defined radios, and signal processing systems that form the backbone of naval sensor networks and distributed combat systems, demonstrating deep technical fluency in electromagnetic spectrum management and secure tactical communications.
