Anelia J. San Nicolas

Anelia J. San Nicolas serves as a Contract Specialist within the U.S. Coast Guard’s Ceu OAKLAND (00088) procurement office, where she plays a pivotal role in executing civil engineering and infrastructure support acquisitions critical to maritime operational readiness. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and administration—focused on sustaining navigational safety, port security, and base resilience. She routinely manages complex construction and maintenance procurements aligned with the Coast Guard’s mission to modernize coastal and inland waterway infrastructure, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and environmental stewardship standards. While specific contractor names are not disclosed in available records, San Nicolas maintains a dynamic working relationship with a diverse pool of vendors specializing in heavy civil engineering and industrial machinery maintenance. Her procurement patterns reflect collaboration with both large-scale infrastructure contractors and qualified small businesses, fostering competitive bidding environments that prioritize technical capability, past performance, and regulatory compliance. She engages contractors through sealed bid and negotiated procurement methods, ensuring transparency and adherence to FAR principles. San Nicolas demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately one-third of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Her approach consistently prioritizes small business participation, aligning with federal mandates to expand opportunities for small disadvantaged, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned firms, even as the majority of her portfolio remains open to all competitors. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), encompassing dredging, shoreline stabilization, and marine structure rehabilitation, complemented by NAICS 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair and Maintenance) for critical equipment upkeep. This dual specialization reflects deep expertise in maritime infrastructure lifecycle management, from large-scale earthmoving projects to precision maintenance of port and base operational systems.
