Michael Romano

Michael Romano serves as the primary contracting lead for the W6QK Acc-pica under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing the acquisition of critical facility services and operational support systems essential to military readiness. His role centers on sustaining combat infrastructure and ensuring the reliability of logistics and munitions supply chains through strategic procurement of maintenance, engineering, and installation services. Romano oversees a diverse portfolio of contracts aligned with the agency’s mission to modernize ammunition production capabilities and maintain base-wide operational continuity, with a focus on non-defense manufacturing support services that enable force projection and sustainment. Romano maintains longstanding relationships with key defense and industrial service contractors, including NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION, GENERAL DYNAMICS OTS (WILKES BARRE), LLC, and THE LOCKWOOD GROUP LLC, alongside technical service providers such as LOGISYS TECHNICAL SERVICES INC and PROGSIT LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established industry performers with proven capabilities in facility operations, environmental services, and base infrastructure support. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, long-term vendor reliability, and compliance with federal acquisition regulations for complex, mission-critical service delivery. His procurement patterns show a strong preference for open competition, with 83.3% of awards issued without set-aside designations, indicating a focus on capability-driven sourcing over socioeconomic preferences. While only 16.7% of contracts are set aside for total small business participation under FAR 19.5, Romano ensures that small business engagement remains structured and compliant, aligning with agency priorities for broad vendor access without compromising mission readiness. Romano’s primary NAICS focus lies in 562991 (Septic Tank and Related Services) and 561790 (Other Services to Buildings and Dwellings), reflecting his specialization in environmental compliance, waste management, utilities maintenance, and facility operations for military installations. His technical domain expertise encompasses infrastructure sustainment, environmental remediation, and base support services critical to garrison readiness and operational resilience.
