Bill E Erickson

Bill Erickson serves as a Contracting Officer for the U.S. Coast Guard under LOG-9 (70Z084), where he manages the acquisition of critical life-cycle support services essential to shore-based and maritime operational readiness. His portfolio encompasses facilities maintenance, environmental services, and infrastructure support contracts that ensure habitable, secure, and mission-ready environments for Coast Guard personnel nationwide. Erickson specializes in complex, multi-year service contracts governed by FAR Part 37 and utilizes performance-based acquisition methods to align vendor deliverables with mission-critical outcomes. He routinely oversees procurements requiring technical oversight in engineering, facilities management, and logistics support, ensuring compliance with federal standards and operational sustainability goals. Erickson maintains strong, recurring relationships with a core group of contractors including GILMAN CORPORATION THE, FRONTLINE ENTERPRISES LLC, ISN ALLIANCE LLC, S3 SOLUTIONS ONE LLC, and FAZTEC INDUSTRIES INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in civil construction, facilities support, and environmental services. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor reliability, past performance evaluation, and risk mitigation through structured contract administration, fostering collaborative relationships that prioritize mission continuity and service quality over transactional procurement. Erickson demonstrates a balanced commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and an additional 8.3% designated for HUBZone firms. While he also conducts open, no-set-aside procurements to ensure competitive breadth, his consistent use of socioeconomic set-asides underscores a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and community-based contractors aligned with Coast Guard operational needs. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) and 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), reflecting expertise in infrastructure resilience and facility systems. He also frequently acquires services under NAICS 562111 (Solid Waste Collection) and 561210 (Facilities Support Services), demonstrating specialized knowledge in environmental compliance, maintenance operations, and integrated facility management for federal maritime installations.
