Michael Romine

Michael Romine serves as a secondary contracting professional within the Defense Logistics Agency’s Aviation division at Huntsville, supporting the procurement of mission-critical components for U.S. military aviation, missile, and space propulsion systems. He plays a vital role in executing complex acquisitions for high-integrity avionics, power distribution systems, and guided missile subsystems, ensuring the sustainment and modernization of defense platforms. His work directly enables operational readiness by facilitating timely delivery of technically demanding hardware under stringent quality and security standards, often involving classified or controlled technical data. Romine regularly collaborates with a core group of prime contractors including Intuitive Research and Technology Corporation, Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, BAE Systems Land and Armaments L.P., Simulation Technologies, Inc., and L3Harris Fuzing and Ordnance Systems, Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for established defense industrial base vendors with proven capabilities in precision manufacturing, electronic subsystem integration, and systems engineering for aerospace and defense applications. His contracting patterns emphasize long-term supplier reliability and technical compliance over competitive bidding alone. His procurement portfolio is predominantly open competition, with 74.8% of awards issued without set-asides, yet he maintains a consistent commitment to small business participation. Approximately 25% of contracts are reserved for small businesses, with the majority allocated under Total Small Business Set-Asides and a notable portion directed to SBA-certified Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Businesses (EDWOSB), reflecting a deliberate effort to broaden supplier diversity within the defense supply chain. Romine’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 335311 (power and specialty transformers), 335931 (current-carrying wiring devices), and 334412 (bare printed circuit boards), with additional emphasis on 336419 (guided missile components) and 335999 (miscellaneous electrical equipment). His expertise centers on procuring ruggedized, high-reliability electronic and electro-mechanical systems critical to flight control, power conditioning, and ordnance functionality across legacy and next-generation platforms.
