Alice P. Martinez

Alice P. Martinez serves as a key procurement lead within the U.S. Coast Guard’s Ceu MIAMI(00082), responsible for managing civil engineering and infrastructure modernization contracts critical to sustaining maritime operational readiness. She oversees the acquisition of construction, maintenance, and security services essential to coastal facilities, navigational aids, and resilient infrastructure projects. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to enhance coastal resilience and modernize legacy assets at remote stations, ensuring mission-critical systems remain operational under demanding environmental conditions. Martinez specializes in complex, multi-disciplinary procurements requiring coordination between civil engineering, facilities management, and security systems integration. Martinez cultivates partnerships with a diverse pool of qualified contractors, primarily in the construction and systems integration sectors. She engages with firms specializing in roofing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and security systems services, fostering long-term vendor relationships built on compliance with federal construction standards and performance-based contracting principles. Her procurement approach emphasizes contractor accountability, quality assurance, and adherence to U.S. Coast Guard engineering specifications, often requiring pre-qualification and site-specific capability assessments. A strong advocate for small business participation, Martinez consistently prioritizes small business set-asides, with 60% of her acquisitions designated under FAR 19.5 for total small business eligibility. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and locally based firms, aligning with broader DHS socioeconomic goals. While no set-aside classifications are dominant, her portfolio demonstrates consistent engagement with small business contractors across multiple NAICS categories. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 238160 (roofing), 238210 (electrical), 238220 (plumbing and HVAC), and 561621 (security systems services). These reflect a technical domain expertise in facility sustainment, energy-efficient building systems, and physical security integration for high-risk maritime installations. Martinez’s work ensures that infrastructure acquisitions meet stringent federal standards for durability, safety, and interoperability in coastal and remote environments.
