Bria Hampton

Bria Hampton serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Coast Guard’s Headquarters Contract Operations (CG-912), supporting the strategic acquisition of specialized maritime and aerospace services critical to national security and operational readiness. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts for vessel modernization, search and detection systems, and technical support services that enhance coastal patrol capabilities and maritime domain awareness. Her work directly enables the Coast Guard’s mission to sustain and modernize its fleet through new construction, retrofitting, and advanced sensor integration, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical performance standards. Hampton maintains consistent relationships with a focused group of prime contractors, including Bollinger Shipyards Lockport, L.L.C., Davie Defense Inc., Rauma Marine Constructions Oy, and Rozema’s Boat Works, Inc., all of which specialize in shipbuilding, naval architecture, and maritime systems integration. These partnerships reflect a preference for established, technically capable vendors with proven experience in constructing and maintaining high-performance vessels and mission-specific equipment. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical evaluation, and performance-based contract management to ensure operational reliability and lifecycle sustainability. Notably, Hampton’s portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside contracting pattern, indicating a focus on full and open competition to secure the most capable and technologically advanced solutions available in the market. There is no indication of socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB preferences in her award activity, suggesting a procurement strategy prioritizing technical superiority and mission alignment over socioeconomic criteria. Despite the listed NAICS code 623220, which pertains to residential mental health facilities, this appears to be a data anomaly; her actual procurement activity centers on NAICS codes related to shipbuilding (336611), aerospace product and parts manufacturing (336411), and other defense-related technical services. Her expertise lies in complex maritime acquisition programs requiring rigorous engineering oversight, compliance with Coast Guard technical specifications, and integration of advanced surveillance and navigation systems.
