Michael Unglesbee

Michael Unglesbee serves as a General Services Officer responsible for managing acquisition activities related to direct health and medical insurance carrier services. In this role, he ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while facilitating the selection of qualified vendors to support health benefits administration and insurance operations. His procurement portfolio is narrowly focused on the delivery of insurance coverage and related administrative services, aligning with mission-critical health care infrastructure needs. He exercises full contracting authority for solicitation, evaluation, award, and administration of contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, ensuring transparency, competition, and fiscal accountability across all procurements. Michael maintains a broad and open contractor engagement model, working with a diverse pool of qualified health insurance carriers and third-party administrators. While no single contractor dominates his award profile, he consistently engages firms with proven experience in managing large-scale health benefit programs, including those with robust claims processing, provider network management, and member services capabilities. His working relationships are characterized by structured competition, clear performance metrics, and a focus on vendor accountability and service delivery outcomes. Michael’s contracting approach reflects a strict preference for open, non-set-aside competitions, with 100% of his awards issued under unrestricted solicitation. He does not currently leverage socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, instead prioritizing full and open competition to ensure the broadest possible pool of qualified insurers can compete based on technical merit and operational capacity. His primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 524114—Direct Health and Medical Insurance Carriers—encompassing the acquisition of private health insurance plans, managed care services, and related administrative support. He specializes in procuring comprehensive health benefit solutions, including risk-based capitation arrangements, provider payment systems, and enrollment and eligibility platforms, demonstrating deep expertise in the regulatory and operational dynamics of the health insurance market.
