Aaron Wyche

Aaron Wyche serves as a key procurement lead within the U.S. Coast Guard’s Headquarters Contract Operations (CG-912), overseeing strategic acquisitions that advance maritime security, operational readiness, and fleet modernization. He manages the full lifecycle of contracts for technical, administrative, and management consulting services critical to sustaining the Coast Guard’s aerospace, maritime, and surveillance systems. His portfolio centers on enabling mission-critical capabilities including maritime domain awareness, search and detection systems, and vessel modernization programs, ensuring alignment with national defense and homeland security objectives. Wyche’s work directly supports the agency’s priority to enhance coastal and riverine patrol effectiveness through precision acquisition and performance-based contracting. Wyche maintains long-standing relationships with specialized shipbuilders and maritime service providers, including Bollinger Shipyards Lockport, L.L.C., Davie Defense Inc., Rauma Marine Constructions Oy, and Rozema’s Boat Works, Inc. These partnerships reflect a focus on niche, high-capability vendors with proven expertise in vessel construction, retrofitting, and technical support for Coast Guard-specific platforms. His contracting patterns emphasize performance-based outcomes, lifecycle sustainment, and technical compliance with U.S. maritime standards, fostering collaborative, mission-aligned vendor relationships built on reliability and regulatory adherence. Wyche’s procurement activity is exclusively conducted under no set-aside conditions, with 100% of awards issued as full and open competitions. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize technical merit, capability, and operational readiness over socioeconomic preferences, ensuring access to the most qualified providers regardless of business size or certification status. While small business participation is not formally targeted through set-asides, the agency’s reliance on specialized vendors often results in natural inclusion of small firms with unique technical capabilities. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541611—Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services—indicating a heavy reliance on strategic advisory, program management, and acquisition support services. These contracts underpin the planning, oversight, and execution of complex maritime modernization initiatives, demonstrating deep expertise in defense acquisition systems, lifecycle management, and operational integration of technical systems.
