Andrew Dean

Andrew Dean serves as a key procurement lead within U.S. Coast Guard Base Boston (70Z024), responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain operational readiness through infrastructure maintenance, environmental compliance, and logistical support for maritime assets. He oversees a portfolio of contracts focused on facility upkeep, waste management, and landscaping services critical to Coast Guard station operations. His work ensures that port and coastal infrastructure remains mission-ready, aligning procurement decisions with the agency’s broader goals of resilience, safety, and regulatory adherence. He typically handles service-based contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, emphasizing performance-based outcomes and lifecycle sustainment. Dean maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including National Crane Services Inc., Gravitec Systems Inc., Aerofleet Logistics LLC, McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, and JD Tierra Verde LLC. These partnerships are primarily centered on specialized maintenance, crane operations, logistics support, and site development services. His contracting approach favors vendors with proven technical expertise in marine and coastal environments, fostering long-term, performance-driven relationships that prioritize reliability and regulatory compliance over transactional engagements. His procurement strategy reflects a strong commitment to small business participation, with 66.7% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern underscores a deliberate emphasis on enabling small, locally-based firms to contribute to national security infrastructure, aligning with federal socioeconomic objectives. While no set-aside categories are specified beyond small business, the consistent use of set-asides indicates a proactive effort to expand opportunities for disadvantaged and community-based contractors. Dean’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services) and 562111 (Solid Waste Collection), reflecting the Base’s need for environmental stewardship and facility maintenance. He specializes in acquiring services that support sustainable operations, including vegetation management, stormwater compliance, and hazardous and non-hazardous waste handling—critical functions for Coast Guard installations operating in ecologically sensitive coastal zones.
