Amy McCann

Amy McCann serves as a SK3 Contracting Officer at U.S. Coast Guard Base New Orleans (70Z029), where she manages the acquisition of critical infrastructure and facility support services essential to operational readiness. Her portfolio encompasses the procurement of building systems, utilities, and physical infrastructure upgrades aligned with the Coast Guard’s mission to sustain maritime safety and environmental stewardship. McCann handles a diverse range of contract types, including design-build, construction, and service contracts, with a strong emphasis on compliance with federal facility standards and resilience planning for coastal hazards. She plays a pivotal role in ensuring that base infrastructure meets modernization goals while adhering to stringent environmental and safety regulations. McCann collaborates with a broad spectrum of vendors, including commercial contractors specializing in building construction, facility maintenance, and technical services. Her working relationships span general contractors, specialty trades, and service providers with expertise in commercial and institutional construction, pest control, and computer systems procurement. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she maintains a balanced approach that prioritizes responsiveness, technical competence, and adherence to federal contracting standards across both large and mid-tier firms. A strong advocate for small business participation, McCann consistently structures approximately 40% of her acquisitions as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting. Her pattern demonstrates a preference for inclusive competition, with frequent use of small business set-asides that enable local and disadvantaged firms to compete for federal work without reliance on other set-aside programs like 8(a) or HUBZone. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 423430 for computer equipment and software, 236220 for commercial building construction, and 238330 for flooring contractors, with additional emphasis on 561710 for pest control and 922120 for police protection services. This reflects a multidisciplinary approach to facility sustainment, integrating technical, environmental, and security-related services to support Coast Guard missions in a high-risk coastal environment.
