Michael Slade Lindgren

Michael S. Lindgren serves as a Contract Specialist within the Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support (NAVSUP WSS), specifically under agency code N00104, where he plays a pivotal role in securing mission-critical components that sustain the operational readiness of U.S. Navy weapon systems. His procurement activities center on mechanical, electrical, and electronic subsystems essential for maintenance, repair, and modernization of naval platforms, with a strong emphasis on pumping systems, valve assemblies, and printed circuit board assemblies. Lindgren manages the full lifecycle of complex acquisitions under FAR and DFARS guidelines, ensuring compliance with technical specifications, delivery timelines, and quality assurance standards for high-reliability defense hardware. He maintains enduring relationships with key industry partners including Raytheon Company, AMD International Technologies LLC, and The Entwistle Company LLC, reflecting a preference for established defense contractors with proven capabilities in precision manufacturing and subsystem integration. His contracting patterns indicate a reliance on experienced vendors capable of delivering ruggedized, military-spec components under stringent quality controls, often through competitive sealed bidding or negotiated procurement methods. While the majority of his acquisitions—85.7%—are conducted without set-asides, Lindgren consistently allocates 14.3% of his portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but intentional commitment to small business participation. He prioritizes vendors with relevant technical certifications and past performance in defense manufacturing, ensuring small business engagement aligns with mission-critical requirements. His primary NAICS focus is 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), underscoring his expertise in procuring hull-integrated mechanical systems, with secondary emphasis on 334418 (Printed Circuit Assembly) and 335999 (Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment). Lindgren’s technical domain spans electromechanical subsystems, embedded electronics, and precision fluid control components critical to naval combat systems.
