Augustine Green-Smith

Augustine L. Green-Smith serves as a Contracting Officer within the U.S. Coast Guard’s Headquarters Contract Operations (CG-912), where they oversee the acquisition of critical aerospace, maritime, and technical services essential to national maritime security and operational readiness. Responsible for managing full lifecycle procurements under FAR and DFARS guidelines, Green-Smith specializes in complex contracts for vessel modernization, maritime domain awareness systems, and mission-critical communications infrastructure. Their portfolio supports the Coast Guard’s strategic priorities in coastal patrol, search and detection, and fleet sustainment through innovative and mission-aligned sourcing strategies. Green-Smith maintains longstanding relationships with key industrial partners including Bollinger Shipyards Lockport, L.L.C., Davie Defense Inc., Rauma Marine Constructions Oy, and Rozema’s Boat Works, Inc., reflecting a preference for specialized shipbuilders and defense contractors with proven expertise in maritime platforms and technical integration. These partnerships are characterized by collaborative contract administration, performance-based acquisition methods, and a focus on long-term sustainment and modernization outcomes rather than transactional procurement. While the majority of procurements (88.9%) are conducted as full and open competitions, Green-Smith consistently allocates 11.1% of awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding small business participation in high-impact maritime acquisition programs. Their socioeconomic strategy prioritizes qualified small businesses without reliance on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, favoring broad-based small business engagement aligned with technical capability and delivery capacity. The procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 532411 (commercial water transportation equipment leasing), 541511 (custom computer programming), and 541330 (engineering services), underscoring expertise in integrated maritime systems, software-defined mission platforms, and technical engineering support. Additional focus areas include 334220 (communications equipment manufacturing) and 811310 (industrial machinery repair), reflecting a multidisciplinary approach to sustaining Coast Guard operational capabilities across physical and digital domains.
