Michael Robart

Michael Robart serves as a Senior Contracting Officer (SKC) at the U.S. Coast Guard’s Cg ACADEMY (70Z039), where he manages critical procurement activities supporting the operational readiness and academic infrastructure of Coast Guard training programs. His role centers on acquiring specialized logistical, technical, and maintenance services essential to sustaining maritime training assets, including vessel systems, analytical instrumentation, and process optimization solutions. Robart ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the Academy’s mission to deliver high-fidelity, mission-critical training environments for cadets and personnel. Robart maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized vendors, including TOP 3D SHOP INC, VANTAGE POINT, INC, CHASE, LEAVITT & CO. INC, and CROCKER’S BOATYARD, INC. These contractors provide niche capabilities in maritime equipment maintenance, logistics consulting, and precision manufacturing, reflecting a preference for established, technically proficient partners with proven experience in Coast Guard-specific operational environments. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability, technical alignment, and long-term service sustainability over broad competition. Robart’s contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach to socioeconomic participation, with approximately one-third of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business engagement. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, his consistent use of small business set-asides signals a strategic effort to foster innovation and capacity within the defense-supporting small business community. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541614 (Process, Physical Distribution, and Logistics Consulting Services) and 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), underscoring expertise in optimizing training logistics and acquiring precision instrumentation for maritime safety and operational analysis. These categories reveal a technical domain rooted in maritime lifecycle management, where data-driven maintenance protocols and specialized equipment are vital to mission success.
