Beverly R. Fowler

Beverly R. Fowler serves as a Contracting Officer within the U.S. Coast Guard’s Headquarters Contract Operations (CG-912), where she plays a pivotal role in executing strategic acquisitions that advance national maritime security and operational readiness. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts for aerospace, maritime, and technical services, with a focus on supporting vessel modernization, search and detection systems, and maritime domain awareness capabilities. Her work directly enables the Coast Guard’s mission to sustain and enhance its fleet and surveillance infrastructure through timely, compliant, and mission-driven procurement actions. Fowler maintains consistent working relationships with key shipbuilders 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 are primarily centered on new construction, vessel refit, and specialized maritime system integration. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, rigorous performance oversight, and technical alignment with Coast Guard operational requirements, fostering reliable delivery of high-complexity maritime platforms and support services. Her procurement patterns reflect a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of her awards structured as small business set-asides—equally split between 8(a) competed and total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of her contracts remain open to full and open competition, she actively leverages small business programs to promote innovation and capacity development within the defense industrial base. Fowler’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services), reflecting her emphasis on technical design, systems integration, and program management support. She routinely procures engineering analysis, systems engineering services, and operational planning support critical to modernizing Coast Guard assets and optimizing fleet sustainment strategies.
