Michael Maga�a

Michael Maga�a serves as a key procurement lead within the Commanding Officer’s office (N63394) under the Department of the Navy, responsible for managing strategic acquisitions that sustain and modernize naval aviation and electronic warfare systems. He oversees the procurement of mission-critical aerospace components, advanced electronic assemblies, and cybersecurity-enabled communications infrastructure, ensuring operational readiness across naval aircraft platforms. His acquisitions focus on high-reliability electronic systems, sensor integration, and mission-specific engineering services critical to maintaining air superiority and electronic combat capability. Maga�a maintains strong working relationships with industry leaders such as Lockheed Martin Corporation and Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, partnering primarily with Tier-1 defense contractors for complex, high-integrity systems while fostering collaboration with specialized niche suppliers. His contracting approach emphasizes technical rigor, supply chain resilience, and compliance with military specifications, often requiring ITAR-controlled procurement processes and defense-specific quality assurance protocols. He demonstrates a pronounced commitment to small business participation, with over 54% of his contract actions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to leverage innovative capabilities from small, agile vendors while ensuring compliance with socioeconomic contracting goals. His portfolio consistently includes awards to small disadvantaged, veteran-owned, and HUBZone firms engaged in electronic component manufacturing and precision aerospace subsystems. His primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 334111 (Electronic Computer Manufacturing) and 334419 (Other Electronic Component Manufacturing), targeting advanced circuitry, embedded systems, and ruggedized avionics. He also procures specialized metal components and ball bearings used in high-vibration aerospace environments, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with MIL-STD compliance, conformal coating standards, and electromagnetic interference shielding requirements essential to naval aviation platforms.
