Barri Craig

Barri Craig serves as a procurement specialist within the U.S. Coast Guard’s SFLC Procurement Branch 2 (70Z085), responsible for managing complex acquisitions to sustain and modernize the Coast Guard’s fleet of cutters and maritime vessels. Focused on lifecycle management of naval infrastructure, Craig oversees contracts for shipbuilding, repair, and mechanical systems integration, ensuring operational readiness across coastal and open-ocean missions. Their work directly supports the Coast Guard’s strategic imperatives in vessel modernization, maintenance, and mission-critical infrastructure resilience, handling both new construction and depot-level overhaul contracts under FAR Part 13 and Part 15 procedures. Craig maintains consistent working relationships with leading maritime industrial contractors including ROLLS-ROYCE SOLUTIONS AMERICA INC, VIGOR MARINE LLC, JAG INDUSTRIAL SERVICES, INC, G I INDUSTRIAL-MARINE, LLC, and L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED. These partnerships reflect a balanced approach to sourcing, combining large-tier prime contractors with specialized marine service providers capable of delivering precision mechanical systems, propulsion components, and shipyard repair services. The contracting pattern emphasizes technical proficiency, quality assurance compliance, and on-time delivery in high-stakes maritime environments. Procurement activity is evenly split between total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and open competitions with no set-aside designation, demonstrating a deliberate and equitable approach to market access. Craig actively facilitates opportunities for small businesses in the maritime industrial base, ensuring robust competition while maintaining technical standards required for naval operations. This balanced model supports socioeconomic goals without compromising mission-critical performance requirements. The primary NAICS focus areas—333613 (Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment Manufacturing) and 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing)—reflect deep expertise in propulsion systems, drive trains, hull fabrication, and dry-dock maintenance. Craig’s portfolio centers on procuring engineered marine components, retrofit kits, and integrated repair services critical to extending vessel service life and enhancing operational capability.
