Michael Lampard

Michael Lampard serves as a Procurement and Specifications Specialist for the Mass Transit Agency of Hawaii, where he leads the development and execution of acquisition strategies for critical public transportation assets. In his primary role, he drafts technical specifications, manages solicitation processes, and ensures compliance with federal and state procurement regulations, with a strong emphasis on ADA-compliant vehicle procurement, transit infrastructure upgrades, and operational security systems. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to deliver safe, accessible, and reliable transit services across the geographically diverse Big Island, focusing on long-term fleet sustainability and infrastructure resilience. While no specific contractor relationships are currently documented, Lampard engages with a broad spectrum of vendors, including manufacturers of transit vehicles, maintenance equipment suppliers, and technology integrators specializing in fleet management and accessibility systems. His procurement approach prioritizes technical precision and lifecycle cost analysis, fostering collaborative relationships with vendors capable of meeting stringent performance and compliance standards required for public transit operations. Lampard’s contracting patterns reflect a uniform preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions designated as “No Set-Aside,” indicating a focus on merit-based selection rather than socioeconomic set-asides. This approach suggests an emphasis on technical capability and value over targeted socioeconomic categories, though he remains compliant with all federal small business participation requirements. His primary NAICS focus includes 441120 (Used Car Dealers) and 336112 (Motor Vehicle Body and Trailer Manufacturing), reflecting his core involvement in transit bus procurement and fleet modernization. Additional activity in 339113 (Surgical Appliance Manufacturing) and 721110 (Hotels and Motels) likely relates to ancillary procurement for facility support services or specialized equipment. Lampard’s expertise lies in complex technical specifications for mobility systems, ensuring procurement aligns with operational needs and regulatory mandates.
