Beverly Holloway

Beverly Holloway serves as a Contract Specialist within the U.S. Coast Guard’s Headquarters Contract Operations (CG-912), where she plays a pivotal role in executing strategic acquisitions that support national maritime security and operational readiness. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts for specialized maritime and aerospace services, with a primary focus on security systems integration, maritime domain awareness technologies, and vessel modernization programs. Her work directly enables the Coast Guard’s mission to enhance coastal patrol capabilities, sustain specialized fleets, and advance detection and surveillance systems critical to homeland defense. Holloway maintains consistent working relationships with key shipyard and defense contractors 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 experienced naval architecture and marine engineering firms capable of delivering custom-built and modified vessels, as well as integrated security and surveillance systems. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical compliance, lifecycle support, and performance-based contracting to ensure mission-critical readiness. Her contracting portfolio reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately half of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a strong emphasis on small business participation. While she frequently utilizes set-asides to foster competition among qualified small firms, she also executes open competitions to ensure access to specialized capabilities not available within the small business base. Holloway’s primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 561621—Security Systems Services (except Locksmiths)—reflecting her specialization in integrated maritime security solutions, including surveillance, detection, communications, and command-and-control systems. She consistently procures technical services that support sensor networks, data fusion platforms, and perimeter security systems critical to enhancing the Coast Guard’s maritime domain awareness and operational effectiveness.
