Allison M. Fish

Allison M. Fish serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Coast Guard’s Headquarters Contract Operations (CG-912), supporting the agency’s mission to enhance maritime security, operational readiness, and fleet modernization through strategic acquisition of specialized maritime and aerospace services. She manages complex contracting actions for vessel construction, repair, and maintenance, as well as advanced maritime domain awareness systems and search and detection technologies. Her work directly enables the Coast Guard’s ability to sustain and modernize its coastal and riverine patrol fleets, ensuring mission-critical capabilities remain operational and technologically current. Fish maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of shipyards and maritime defense 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 experienced, niche vendors with proven expertise in naval architecture, vessel modernization, and specialized marine fabrication. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical compliance, and performance reliability over high-volume, low-complexity sourcing. Fish’s contracting portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, reflecting a strategic emphasis on mission-critical capability acquisition where specialized technical expertise and proven industrial capacity take precedence over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her award patterns, her work ensures that qualified small and mid-sized vendors are competitively considered within open, full-and-fair competition frameworks. Her primary procurement activity falls under NAICS 921190 (Other General Government Support), encompassing a broad range of defense-related services including shipyard support, maritime systems integration, and technical maintenance contracting. She specializes in complex, non-commercial acquisitions requiring deep domain knowledge in naval vessel lifecycle management, maritime surveillance systems, and Coast Guard-specific operational requirements.
