Alec Carignan, Naval Engineering

Alec Carignan serves as a procurement specialist within the U.S. Coast Guard’s SFLC Procurement Branch 2 (70Z085), supporting the sustainment and modernization of the Coast Guard’s fleet of cutters and maritime vessels. His responsibilities center on managing complex acquisition programs for naval engineering systems, including propulsion, hull maintenance, and shipboard infrastructure upgrades. He plays a critical role in executing lifecycle management contracts that ensure operational readiness across coastal, offshore, and open-ocean missions. Carignan typically handles full-spectrum procurement actions for ship repair, component overhaul, and integrated maritime systems, working closely with industrial partners to deliver mission-critical capabilities under stringent maritime safety and compliance standards. He maintains consistent working relationships with key industrial contractors including ROLLS-ROYCE SOLUTIONS AMERICA INC, VIGOR MARINE LLC, JAG INDUSTRIAL SERVICES, INC, G I INDUSTRIAL-MARINE, LLC, and L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED. These partnerships are primarily focused on heavy marine fabrication, propulsion system maintenance, and naval vessel refit services. Carignan’s contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical alignment with Coast Guard engineering requirements, and performance-based contract structures that prioritize reliability and regulatory compliance over cost alone. Carignan’s procurement portfolio reflects a strict preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This indicates a deliberate focus on technical capability and industrial capacity over socioeconomic designation, aligning with the specialized nature of maritime vessel sustainment. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in his portfolio, the complexity of the work naturally attracts mid-to-large-tier defense contractors with proven naval engineering credentials. His primary procurement focus is under NAICS 423860, which encompasses merchant wholesalers of transportation equipment and supplies excluding motor vehicles. This reflects his specialization in procuring high-value marine components, propulsion systems, structural repair materials, and integrated naval subsystems. His technical domain expertise lies in naval architecture, shipboard mechanical systems, and maritime industrial logistics, ensuring acquisitions meet Coast Guard’s operational and safety standards for extended deployment cycles.
