Anitra L. Keith

Anitra L. Keith serves as a Storekeeper at U.S. Coast Guard Base Los Angeles/Long Beach (70Z037), where she plays a critical role in managing inventory, logistics, and the timely procurement of mission-critical supplies to sustain operational readiness. Her responsibilities include requisitioning, receiving, storing, and distributing equipment and materials essential to facility maintenance, security systems, and vessel support operations. As a key link in the supply chain, she ensures that procurement actions align with Department of Homeland Security directives and Coast Guard infrastructure resilience goals, focusing on acquisitions that support secure facilities, environmental systems, and communications infrastructure. While specific contractor names are not available, Anitra collaborates regularly with merchant wholesalers and service providers specializing in industrial equipment, electrical supplies, and security systems integration. Her procurement workflow emphasizes reliability, compliance, and just-in-time delivery to meet dynamic operational demands. She maintains strong working relationships with vendors capable of delivering certified, military-grade components and services that meet stringent Coast Guard standards for durability and interoperability. Anitra’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 80% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides. However, she consistently supports small business participation, allocating 20% of procurement opportunities to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This balance ensures broad market access while fostering growth among qualified small vendors capable of meeting the Base’s technical and logistical requirements. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 238330 (flooring contractors), 423610 (electrical supplies), 334220 (broadcast and wireless communications equipment), 423830 (industrial machinery), and 561621 (security systems services). This technical portfolio demonstrates deep expertise in procuring hardware and services that underpin maritime security infrastructure, including surveillance systems, facility upgrades, and mission-critical communications components.
