Anthony C. Wesley

Anthony C. Wesley serves as a Contract Specialist within the U.S. Coast Guard’s Headquarters Contract Operations (CG-912), where he plays a pivotal role in executing strategic acquisitions critical to national maritime security and operational readiness. He manages the full lifecycle of complex procurements for aerospace, maritime, and technical services, with a primary focus on aircraft components, vessel modernization, and maritime domain awareness systems. His work directly supports the Coast Guard’s mission to enhance coastal patrol capabilities, sustain specialized vessel fleets, and advance surveillance and detection technologies through compliant, efficient contracting practices aligned with FAR and DFARS requirements. Wesley maintains longstanding relationships with key shipbuilders and aerospace suppliers, including Bollinger Shipyards Lockport, L.L.C., Davie Defense Inc., Rauma Marine Constructions Oy, and Rozema’s Boat Works, Inc. These partnerships reflect a pattern of engagement with specialized, mid-to-large-tier vendors capable of delivering high-integrity maritime and aviation systems under stringent federal standards. His contracting approach emphasizes technical rigor, performance-based outcomes, and supply chain resilience, often involving long-term sustainment and modernization contracts requiring deep domain expertise. His procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 84.5% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting the specialized nature of the capabilities required. Nevertheless, he consistently supports small business participation, with 15.5% of awards directed toward Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced commitment to both mission necessity and socioeconomic objectives. Wesley’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413—Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing—reflecting his deep specialization in aerospace subsystems, avionics integration, and mission-critical aviation support equipment. He also manages select contracts in marine vessel systems and related infrastructure, underscoring his technical fluency across maritime and aerial domains essential to Coast Guard operational effectiveness.
