Michael Spencer

Michael Spencer serves as the SDVOSB Program Manager, overseeing the strategic implementation of service-disabled veteran-owned small business programs within federal procurement operations. In this role, he ensures compliance with statutory mandates under Title 38, U.S. Code, and coordinates with acquisition teams to identify and validate SDVOSB eligibility for set-aside opportunities. He plays a pivotal role in advancing the agency’s mission to maximize contracting opportunities for veterans while maintaining rigorous integrity in source selection and contract administration. His acquisitions primarily involve general government support services, including administrative operations, program management, and technical assistance functions essential to federal mission execution. While no specific contractor relationships are currently documented, Mr. Spencer’s position inherently fosters collaboration with certified SDVOSBs across the federal contracting ecosystem. He works closely with small business advocates, contracting officers, and VA representatives to facilitate mentorship, pre-solicitation outreach, and post-award performance monitoring. His approach emphasizes transparency and equitable access, encouraging SDVOSBs to engage early in the acquisition lifecycle through industry days and targeted market research. Mr. Spencer’s procurement patterns reflect a strong commitment to socioeconomic goals, with 100% of his acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside,” indicating a focus on full and open competition where SDVOSB status is used for verification and preference evaluation under the VA’s SDVOSB Program rather than as a restrictive set-aside mechanism. This reflects a strategic alignment with VA’s authority to award contracts directly to verified SDVOSBs without competition limitations, promoting both inclusion and efficiency. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 921190—Other General Government Support—which encompasses a broad range of non-defense administrative, operational, and logistical services. He routinely oversees contracts for policy analysis, program evaluation, data management, and public-facing support services that sustain federal agency functions. His technical domain expertise centers on public sector administration and veteran-centric service delivery systems.
