Michael R. Janosz

Michael R. Janosz is a procurement professional with deep expertise in aerospace and defense technology acquisitions, overseeing complex contracts for advanced systems critical to national security and aviation capabilities. His role centers on managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and contract administration—ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical requirements. He primarily handles high-technical acquisitions involving aircraft systems, avionics, and precision guidance technologies, often coordinating with engineering and operational stakeholders to define performance-based requirements and ensure technical compliance. Janosz maintains strategic relationships with a select group of prime contractors specializing in aerospace manufacturing and defense systems integration. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industry leaders with proven track records in delivering high-reliability hardware and software systems, particularly those with DOD clearance and ISO-certified production facilities. While he engages with large-tier defense primes, his procurement approach remains open to qualified mid-tier suppliers capable of meeting stringent technical and quality standards, fostering a competitive environment without reliance on socioeconomic set-asides. His contracting portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, reflecting a focus on technical merit, production capacity, and mission readiness over socioeconomic categorizations. This approach underscores a commitment to securing the highest-performing solutions available in the market, prioritizing capability and reliability over certification-based preferences. Janosz’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing) and 334511 (Aeronautical System and Instrument Manufacturing), with additional activity in ammunition production and applied R&D for defense technologies. He routinely procures flight control systems, radar and navigation instrumentation, guidance components, and specialized test equipment, demonstrating specialized knowledge in avionics architecture, electromagnetic compatibility, and military-grade certification standards. His domain expertise ensures acquisitions meet rigorous performance, safety, and interoperability benchmarks for defense and aerospace applications.
