Micheal Garrett

Michael Garrett serves as a key procurement professional within the Mid Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize naval surface platforms. He manages a diverse portfolio of industrial and technical acquisitions critical to shipbuilding, repair, and shore infrastructure readiness, specializing in fabricated metal systems, mechanical subsystems, and industrial maintenance services. His work ensures fleet operational integrity by securing mission-critical components through compliant, efficient contracting processes aligned with Department of Defense acquisition regulations. Garrett maintains consistent relationships with core contractors including Fairlead Boatworks, Inc., General Dynamics Information Technology, Inc., Howard W. Pence, Inc., and Kampi Components Co., Inc., all of which provide specialized shipyard services, structural fabrication, and industrial maintenance solutions. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical reliability and quality assurance, favoring established industrial suppliers with proven capabilities in naval environments. These relationships are strategically cultivated to ensure timely delivery of complex, high-integrity components under stringent military specifications. His procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 80% of acquisitions issued without set-aside designations. However, he consistently allocates 20% of opportunities to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding small business participation without compromising mission requirements. This balance supports both industrial capacity and socioeconomic objectives across the defense supply chain. Garrett’s technical focus centers on NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), 332999 (Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing), 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair), 325510 (Paint and Coating Manufacturing), and 314994 (Rope and Cordage Mills). He routinely procures structural steel assemblies, marine-grade coatings, industrial repair services, and specialized maritime rigging systems, requiring deep familiarity with naval engineering standards and corrosion-resistant material specifications.
