Brian E Battenfeld

Brian E. Battenfeld serves as a Purchasing Agent for the SFLC Procurement Branch 1 (70Z080) within the U.S. Coast Guard, where he plays a critical role in securing specialized goods and services essential to the sustainment and modernization of the Coast Guard’s fleet of cutters and maritime assets. His procurement activities center on ship repair, vessel maintenance, and naval infrastructure support, ensuring operational readiness for coastal and open-ocean missions. Battenfeld manages complex acquisitions under FAR Part 13 and Part 15, often coordinating with technical engineers and logistics specialists to align contract requirements with vessel lifecycle needs, including dry dock overhauls and propulsion system upgrades. He maintains long-standing relationships with key industrial partners including Fairbanks Morse, LLC, Bay Ship & Yacht Co, Thoma-Sea Marine Constructors, L.L.C., Automatic Coating Limited USA, and Technico Corporation—vendors with proven expertise in marine fabrication, coating systems, and naval vessel repair. These partnerships reflect a preference for contractors with deep maritime industry experience, specialized certifications, and demonstrated capacity to meet Coast Guard quality and compliance standards. Battenfeld consistently applies a 100% Small Business Set-Aside strategy under FAR 19.5, prioritizing small business participation across all procurement actions. His contracting patterns reflect a strong commitment to socioeconomic programs, with awards routinely directed to small disadvantaged businesses, HUBZone firms, and other qualified small entities capable of delivering mission-critical maritime services. Despite the agency’s maritime focus, his procurement activity is narrowly classified under NAICS 339114 (Dental Equipment and Supplies Manufacturing), indicating a potential data misclassification or administrative anomaly in the system. His technical domain expertise remains firmly rooted in naval vessel sustainment, with procurement efforts aligned to marine engineering, corrosion control, and shipyard infrastructure—despite the mismatched NAICS code.
