Michael Heaney

Michael Heaney serves as a key procurement professional within the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), supporting the agency’s mission to deliver secure, resilient, and interoperable C4I systems for global military operations. He manages complex IT and engineering acquisitions aligned with DISA’s strategic priorities in cybersecurity, cloud modernization, and mission-critical infrastructure sustainment. His portfolio primarily encompasses engineering services, custom software development, and systems design contracts that enable the modernization of the Department of Defense’s digital battle space. Heaney ensures acquisitions adhere to federal contracting regulations while aligning technical requirements with operational needs across defense networks. Heaney maintains a consistent working relationship with EXPRESSION NETWORKS LLC as a primary contractor, reflecting a pattern of sustained partnerships with firms possessing deep expertise in secure communications and enterprise IT solutions. His procurement approach favors established vendors with proven capabilities in defense-grade systems, often engaging through indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms and performance-based contracts. These relationships are built on technical reliability, compliance with DoD cybersecurity standards, and the ability to deliver scalable, mission-essential services under tight operational timelines. His contracting activity shows a strong preference for open competition, with 87.5% of awards issued without set-asides, indicating a focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic categorization. Nevertheless, he consistently allocates 12.5% of opportunities to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured commitment to fostering small business participation without compromising mission readiness. Heaney’s procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), followed by 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services) and 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services). He routinely acquires secure software development, network architecture design, and integrated systems engineering solutions that support DISA’s cloud migration, zero-trust architecture, and spectrum management initiatives, reflecting deep technical expertise in defense IT modernization.
