Adam J Lukszo

Adam J. Lukszo serves as a Contract Specialist within the U.S. Coast Guard’s Headquarters Contract Operations (CG-912), where he plays a pivotal role in executing strategic acquisitions to support national maritime security and operational readiness. He specializes in the full lifecycle management of contracts for specialized vessel construction, modernization, and technical support services, ensuring alignment with the Coast Guard’s mission to sustain and enhance its coastal and riverine fleet. His work directly enables the procurement of high-performance maritime platforms critical to search and rescue, law enforcement, and domain awareness operations, adhering to federal acquisition regulations and defense acquisition policies. Lukszo maintains consistent contracting relationships with leading shipbuilders and maritime systems integrators, including Bollinger Shipyards Lockport, L.L.C., Davie Defense Inc., Rauma Marine Constructions Oy, and Rozema’s Boat Works, Inc. These partnerships are characterized by long-term collaboration on complex, technically demanding programs involving aluminum and steel-hulled patrol vessels, custom-fit propulsion systems, and integrated command and control architectures. His approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, rigorous technical evaluation, and risk mitigation through early vendor engagement and contract clause precision. His procurement portfolio reflects a strict focus on full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside conditions. This indicates a deliberate preference for competitive, merit-based selection rather than socioeconomic set-asides, prioritizing capability, delivery timelines, and lifecycle cost efficiency over socioeconomic categorization. Lukszo’s expertise is concentrated exclusively in NAICS 336612 (Boat Building), where he manages the acquisition of custom-designed vessels for patrol, interdiction, and response missions. His domain knowledge spans naval architecture, marine systems integration, and shipyard production workflows, ensuring that contracted platforms meet stringent Coast Guard specifications for durability, speed, survivability, and interoperability with federal maritime assets.
