Adetokunboh A. Aderele serves as a Contracting Officer within the U.S. Coast Guard’s Headquarters Contract Operations (CG-912), where she leads the acquisition of critical maritime and technical services to support national security, operational readiness, and fleet modernization. Her portfolio encompasses the procurement of vessel construction, maintenance, and specialized maritime systems, including search and detection technologies, coastal patrol assets, and maritime domain awareness platforms. She plays a pivotal role in executing strategic acquisitions aligned with the Coast Guard’s mission to enhance maritime safety, security, and environmental stewardship through timely, compliant, and performance-based contracting. Aderele maintains longstanding relationships with key shipbuilders and maritime contractors, 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 medium- to large-scale vessel construction and modernization programs requiring specialized naval architecture and marine engineering expertise. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based service agreements, technical oversight, and lifecycle support, ensuring alignment with Coast Guard operational requirements and long-term sustainment goals. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted under full and open competition, she consistently allocates 25% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business participation. She prioritizes contracting with small businesses capable of delivering niche maritime services and technical support, though no other socioeconomic set-asides are prominently reflected in her award patterns. Her primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 611519 (Other Technical and Trade Schools) and 611512 (Flight Training), indicating a significant emphasis on specialized workforce development and technical training services essential to sustaining Coast Guard personnel proficiency in advanced maritime systems and aviation operations. This reflects deep expertise in procuring mission-critical training solutions that directly enable operational capability and force readiness.
