Michele Beasley

Michele Beasley serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of complex procurement actions, from solicitation through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while supporting mission-critical acquisitions for defense and national security systems. Her portfolio primarily involves sourcing specialized defense equipment and components, requiring deep familiarity with technical specifications, source selection criteria, and FAR Part 15 negotiated acquisitions. Michele routinely handles competitive and non-competitive contracts for high-precision manufacturing requirements, often involving sensitive or controlled technical data. Michele cultivates relationships with a diverse base of industrial contractors, particularly those with expertise in ordnance manufacturing and defense subsystems. While no single vendor dominates her award portfolio, she consistently engages with small and mid-tier manufacturers capable of meeting stringent military performance standards. Her contracting approach emphasizes competitive bidding, technical evaluation rigor, and supplier capability assessments, fostering a transparent and accountable acquisition environment. She works closely with technical stakeholders to ensure vendor solutions align with operational requirements and regulatory compliance. Michele demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with the majority of her set-aside awards directed toward Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. She also actively promotes opportunities for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, which account for a notable portion of her awards, and to a lesser extent, Women-Owned Small Businesses. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate effort to expand the supplier base among socioeconomically disadvantaged firms while maintaining rigorous performance standards. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 332994, encompassing small arms, ordnance, and ordnance accessories manufacturing, indicating deep expertise in defense munitions and related components. She also regularly procures specialized motor vehicle and aircraft parts, as well as mechanical power transmission and engine equipment, reflecting a technical domain grounded in defense systems integration and precision mechanical manufacturing. Michele’s work supports the acquisition of mission-essential hardware requiring strict quality control and supply chain resilience.
