Michael Krewinghaus

Michael Krewinghaus serves as a Contract Specialist at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center under the Department of the Navy, where he plays a pivotal role in executing procurement actions critical to sustaining naval surface platforms. He manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for shipbuilding and repair components, including structural metal systems, mechanical subsystems, and industrial support services essential to fleet readiness. His work directly supports the Center’s mission to modernize and maintain naval vessels through precision contracting, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and operational requirements. Krewinghaus specializes in complex, technical contracts requiring deep domain knowledge of naval engineering standards and industrial maintenance practices. He maintains established relationships with key contractors including Fairlead Boatworks, Inc., General Dynamics Information Technology, Inc., Howard W. Pence, Inc., and Kampi Components Co., Inc., all of which provide specialized ship repair, systems integration, and precision-manufactured components. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical reliability, quality assurance, and performance-based outcomes. These relationships are cultivated through consistent engagement, clear performance metrics, and adherence to naval specifications, fostering a stable supply chain for mission-critical repairs and upgrades. Krewinghaus exhibits a balanced approach to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately one-third of his awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of acquisitions are open to full and open competition, he actively prioritizes small business participation where feasible, aligning with Department of the Navy initiatives to expand industrial base resilience. His contracting patterns reflect a deliberate effort to leverage small business capabilities without compromising technical or schedule requirements. His procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 336611—Ship Building and Repairing—reflecting deep expertise in naval industrial maintenance. He procures a wide array of components including welded hull structures, propulsion subsystems, piping systems, and corrosion-resistant materials, all subject to stringent naval engineering and safety standards. His technical proficiency ensures acquisitions meet the rigorous demands of maritime operational environments.
