Alan C. Boucher

Alan C. Boucher serves as a primary contracting professional within the U.S. Coast Guard’s Headquarters Contract Operations (CG-912), overseeing strategic acquisitions critical to national maritime security and operational readiness. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts supporting aerospace, maritime, and technical service requirements, with a focus on vessel modernization, search and detection systems, and maritime domain awareness technologies. His work directly enables the Coast Guard’s mission to sustain and enhance coastal patrol capabilities through timely and compliant procurement practices aligned with federal acquisition regulations. Boucher maintains consistent working relationships with key shipbuilding 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 preference for specialized industrial contractors with proven expertise in vessel construction, repair, and maritime system integration. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical validation, and performance-based contracting to ensure mission-critical readiness.

This balance reflects a disciplined approach to leveraging small business innovation without compromising mission urgency or technical requirements.
