Ani Tyler

Ani Tyler supports the U.S. Coast Guard’s Headquarters Contract Operations (CG-912) unit in executing strategic acquisitions critical to national maritime security and operational readiness. Responsible for managing complex procurement actions across aerospace, maritime, and technical service domains, Tyler facilitates the acquisition of specialized vessels, detection systems, and mission-critical equipment to sustain and modernize the Coast Guard’s fleet and surveillance capabilities. Their work directly advances the agency’s priorities in coastal patrol enhancement, maritime domain awareness, and force modernization through disciplined application of FAR and DFARS acquisition frameworks. Tyler maintains enduring partnerships with key shipbuilding and defense contractors including Bollinger Shipyards Lockport, L.L.C., Davie Defense Inc., Rauma Marine Constructions Oy, and Rozema’s Boat Works, Inc., reflecting a consistent reliance on experienced maritime industrial base vendors with proven capabilities in vessel construction, repair, and system integration. These relationships are characterized by long-term collaboration on multi-year modernization programs, often involving technical specifications for custom-engineered maritime platforms and mission equipment. While the majority of acquisitions are conducted without set-asides, Tyler consistently allocates approximately 25% of contract opportunities to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a structured commitment to small business participation without prioritizing specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a) or HUBZone. This balanced approach supports a diverse supplier base while maintaining operational efficiency. The procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in three NAICS categories: 333413 for industrial fans and air purification systems used in vessel environmental controls, 332999 for specialized fabricated metal components critical to hull and deck structures, and 721110 for temporary lodging and support facilities at remote operational sites. This unique blend reflects the agency’s need for both hardened maritime hardware and ancillary logistical infrastructure to sustain missions across extended deployments.
