Michael Lampard

Michael Lampard serves as a procurement professional within DLA Maritime – Pearl Harbor, supporting the operational readiness of U.S. naval forces through the acquisition of mission-critical maritime components. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts for precision-engineered hardware including wiring devices, electronic connectors, abrasives, and specialized metal fabrications essential to shipboard systems. His work ensures the continuous availability of high-reliability parts under demanding naval environments, aligning with DLA Maritime’s mandate to sustain fleet operational sustainability through resilient, responsive logistics. Lampard’s acquisitions are strategically aligned with the Navy’s maintenance and modernization cycles, emphasizing technical compliance, supply chain security, and rapid delivery timelines. His contractor relationships are primarily with small businesses and specialized manufacturers serving the defense industrial base, particularly those certified under socioeconomic programs. While no single vendor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages with niche suppliers capable of meeting military specifications for materials, tolerances, and testing protocols. His working relationships emphasize technical collaboration, early vendor engagement, and performance-based contracting to ensure component interoperability across complex naval platforms. Lampard demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately 74% of his awards set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5. His contracting patterns reflect a deliberate preference for small business set-asides over open competitions, fostering a robust ecosystem of specialized suppliers. This approach supports broader DLA objectives to diversify the defense supply base and enhance resilience through decentralized manufacturing capacity. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 335931 (current-carrying wiring devices), 327910 (abrasive products), and 334417 (electronic connectors), reflecting deep technical expertise in electrical systems, surface conditioning, and signal integrity components. He routinely procures items requiring MIL-SPEC compliance, including hermetic seals, high-temperature insulators, and corrosion-resistant fasteners, demonstrating specialized knowledge in naval electrical and mechanical subsystems.
