Michael L Nowicki

Michael L. Nowicki serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while advancing the agency’s mission through efficient, transparent, and legally sound procurement practices. His portfolio primarily consists of service-based contracts, with a strong emphasis on solid waste collection and testing laboratory services, reflecting his expertise in environmental and technical support acquisitions. Nowicki works closely with program managers and acquisition teams to align contracting strategies with operational needs and regulatory requirements. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Nowicki’s procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with vendors capable of delivering environmental services and analytical testing capabilities. His working relationships are characterized by a focus on performance-based contracting and clear statement of work development, fostering accountability and measurable outcomes. He routinely evaluates vendor capabilities through competitive procedures, prioritizing responsiveness, past performance, and compliance with technical specifications. Nowicki demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 96.1% of his acquisitions conducted without set-aside restrictions. The remaining 3.9% are awarded as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a measured but intentional commitment to small business participation. Though he does not frequently utilize specialized socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, his approach supports broad small business access through unrestricted competition with targeted small business set-asides where appropriate. His primary NAICS focus areas are 562111 (Solid Waste Collection) and 541380 (Testing Laboratories and Services), indicating deep expertise in environmental compliance and analytical services. He procures a range of operational support services including waste management, sampling, laboratory analysis, and environmental monitoring—domains requiring technical proficiency, regulatory knowledge, and reliable service delivery. Nowicki’s work ensures that critical infrastructure and environmental health services are sustained through effective, compliant contracting.
