Alex H. Wingert

Alex H. Wingert serves as a Contracting Officer for the U.S. Coast Guard under LOG-9 (70Z084), where he manages the acquisition of mission-critical life-cycle support services essential to shore-based and maritime operational readiness. His portfolio encompasses professional, scientific, and construction services that sustain facility integrity, environmental compliance, and training infrastructure across the Coast Guard’s national footprint. Wingert executes full-cycle contracting actions under FAR Part 15, prioritizing performance-based requirements and risk-mitigated contract structures to ensure reliable delivery of services critical to national security and coastal resilience. Wingert maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including GILMAN CORPORATION THE, FRONTLINE ENTERPRISES LLC, S3 SOLUTIONS ONE LLC, FAZTEC INDUSTRIES INC, and VMX INTERNATIONAL LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with demonstrated expertise in engineering, facility construction, and specialty trade services. His procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, past performance evaluation, and technical capability over price alone, fostering long-term contractual engagements that align with the Coast Guard’s operational continuity goals. While the majority of his acquisitions are unrestricted, Wingert consistently allocates one-third of his portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business participation. He does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead favoring broad small business eligibility to maximize competition while maintaining technical rigor. His socioeconomic strategy prioritizes access and fairness without compromising mission-critical standards. Wingert’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), followed by commercial and institutional building construction (236220) and water and sewer infrastructure (237110). He routinely procures civil engineering design, facility modernization, utility system upgrades, and specialty trade contracting services, reflecting deep expertise in infrastructure resilience and mission-support construction. His domain knowledge spans environmental compliance, facility sustainment, and technical oversight of construction deliverables aligned with Coast Guard operational standards.
