Barry Marseglia

Barry A. Marseglia serves as a key procurement lead at U.S. Coast Guard Base Honolulu (70Z034), overseeing acquisitions critical to maintaining maritime operational readiness. Responsible for managing contracts that sustain the fleet’s seaworthiness and shore infrastructure, he specializes in ship repair, vessel systems maintenance, and facility modernization projects. His role ensures alignment with the Coast Guard’s mission to uphold safety, security, and environmental stewardship through timely, compliant, and technically sound contracting actions. He routinely handles complex service and construction acquisitions requiring specialized engineering and logistics coordination. Marseglia cultivates strategic partnerships with a diverse pool of vendors, particularly those with expertise in specialty trade contracting, industrial equipment maintenance, and security systems integration. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages qualified small businesses and niche service providers capable of delivering mission-critical support under tight operational timelines. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability, technical compliance, and responsiveness to dynamic maritime environments, fostering long-term vendor relationships built on performance and regulatory adherence. He demonstrates a strong preference for Local Area Set-Aside contracts under FAR 26.2, with two-thirds of his awards reserved for businesses operating within the Honolulu region. This reflects a deliberate strategy to bolster regional economic resilience and ensure rapid response capabilities through locally rooted contractors. The remaining third of acquisitions are open to broader competition, but always prioritize small business participation, aligning with the Coast Guard’s broader socioeconomic goals. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors) for facility and infrastructure upgrades, 561621 (Security Systems Services) for perimeter and access control systems, and 333924 (Industrial Truck and Stacker Machinery Manufacturing) for material handling equipment essential to base operations. This technical blend underscores his expertise in supporting both maritime and shore-side logistics through specialized, mission-critical procurements.
