Michael Lampard

Michael Lampard serves as a procurement specialist 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 essential to shipboard systems, including fasteners, wiring devices, seals, and specialized metal fabrications. His work ensures the continuous supply of high-reliability components that sustain the integrity of naval vessels’ mechanical, electrical, and structural systems. Operating under SPMYM4, Lampard aligns acquisitions with DLA’s strategic imperative to maintain maritime logistics resilience in dynamic operational environments. Lampard cultivates collaborative relationships with a broad network of industrial suppliers, primarily small businesses specializing in niche manufacturing capabilities. He engages with vendors capable of producing certified aerospace-grade fasteners, welded electrical conduits, and abrasives compliant with military specifications, often working through long-term blanket purchase agreements and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts. His procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, technical compliance with MIL-SPEC standards, and supply chain traceability, fostering partnerships with firms that demonstrate consistent quality control and just-in-time delivery performance. A strong advocate for socioeconomic contracting, Lampard consistently prioritizes small business set-asides, with over 80% of his acquisitions designated for small business participation under FAR 19.5. He actively targets contracts for service-disabled veteran-owned, HUBZone, and woman-owned small businesses, aligning with DLA’s mandate to maximize economic opportunity while maintaining operational readiness. His contracting patterns reflect a deliberate effort to diversify the supplier base and strengthen domestic industrial capacity for defense-critical components. His technical focus centers on NAICS 332722 (fasteners and hardware), 335931 (current-carrying wiring devices), and 327910 (abrasive products), reflecting deep expertise in procuring components critical to electrical systems, propulsion controls, and hull maintenance. Lampard’s domain knowledge spans metallurgy, electrical insulation standards, and marine-grade fabrication, ensuring acquisitions meet the rigorous environmental and performance demands of naval deployments.
