Amanda J. Myers

Amanda J. Myers serves as a Contract Specialist within the SFLC Procurement Branch 1 (70Z080) of the U.S. Coast Guard, part of the Department of Homeland Security. She plays a critical role in executing complex acquisitions to sustain and modernize the Coast Guard’s fleet of cutters and maritime assets, ensuring operational readiness for coastal, offshore, and open-ocean missions. Her portfolio primarily encompasses shipbuilding, vessel repair, dry dock overhauls, and propulsion system upgrades under FAR-based contracting vehicles. Myers manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and contract administration—ensuring compliance with federal regulations and mission-critical timelines. She maintains established working relationships with key industrial partners including Fairbanks Morse, LLC, Bay Ship & Yacht Co, Thoma-Sea Marine Constructors, L.L.C., Automatic Coating Limited USA, and Technico Corporation. These partnerships reflect a focus on specialized marine engineering, corrosion protection, and naval architecture services essential to vessel lifecycle management. Myers fosters long-term vendor collaboration grounded in technical precision, performance accountability, and adherence to Navy and Coast Guard shipbuilding standards. Her procurement strategy prioritizes small business participation, with nearly half of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, complemented by a notable emphasis on Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides. This reflects a deliberate commitment to expanding economic opportunity within the maritime industrial base while maintaining competitive, qualified vendor pools. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), accounting for over half of her activity, with secondary emphasis on hotel and motel services—likely supporting transient crew housing or shore-side logistics. Her technical expertise centers on naval vessel maintenance, marine coating systems, and propulsion component integration, positioning her as a subject-matter expert in maritime asset sustainment contracting.
