Michael R. Dombrowski

Lt. Col. Michael R. Dombrowski serves as a senior contracting leader within the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center under FA7014, where he oversees the acquisition of mission-critical professional services to sustain and modernize Air Force operational readiness. His portfolio centers on systems engineering and technical assistance (SETA), cybersecurity infrastructure, enterprise IT modernization, and data-driven mission analytics. He plays a pivotal role in translating complex technical requirements into compliant, performance-based contracts that ensure the Air Force’s technological edge. Dombrowski routinely manages task orders under IDIQ vehicles and other multi-year procurement instruments, emphasizing outcomes over inputs and ensuring alignment with Air Force digital transformation priorities. He maintains strategic, long-term partnerships with high-capacity contractors including SIGMATECH, INC. and PURDUE UNIVERSITY, both of which provide deep technical expertise in systems integration, cybersecurity analysis, and advanced modeling and simulation. His contracting approach favors established industry and academic partners with proven track records in delivering high-assurance solutions under stringent DoD compliance frameworks. These relationships are characterized by sustained engagement, iterative requirements refinement, and collaborative risk-sharing to meet evolving operational demands. Dombrowski’s procurement activity reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. This indicates a deliberate focus on technical merit and mission-critical capability over socioeconomic categorization, prioritizing the most qualified providers regardless of business size or certification status. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in his portfolio, he ensures fair access through transparent solicitation practices and robust market research. His technical domain expertise spans NAICS categories related to professional, scientific, and technical services, particularly in defense systems engineering, cybersecurity services, and enterprise IT modernization. He procures advanced analytical tools, secure cloud architectures, and mission support services that enable real-time decision-making and force readiness across classified and unclassified environments.
