Bryan P. Briggs

Bryan P. Briggs serves as a key procurement lead within the U.S. Coast Guard’s SFLC Procurement Branch 2 (70Z085), where he manages acquisitions critical to sustaining and modernizing the Coast Guard’s fleet of cutters and maritime vessels. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle procurement of shipbuilding, repair, and maintenance services, ensuring operational readiness for coastal, offshore, and open-ocean missions. Briggs specializes in complex contract vehicles for naval infrastructure, including performance-based service contracts and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms, with a focus on technical requirements aligned with naval engineering standards and Coast Guard mission-critical readiness goals. He maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of industry partners, including ROLLS-ROYCE SOLUTIONS AMERICA INC, VIGOR MARINE LLC, JAG INDUSTRIAL SERVICES, INC, G I INDUSTRIAL-MARINE, LLC, and L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED. These vendors provide specialized shipyard services, propulsion system integration, marine mechanical repairs, and industrial valve solutions. Briggs fosters long-term, performance-driven partnerships with contractors possessing proven expertise in naval vessel maintenance and federal shipbuilding compliance, emphasizing quality assurance, regulatory adherence, and timely delivery under stringent maritime standards. Briggs demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately two-thirds of his awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. His contracting patterns reflect a deliberate focus on enabling small and mid-sized maritime industrial firms to compete for Coast Guard sustainment work, aligning with federal socioeconomic objectives. While no set-asides are used in the remaining third, his portfolio consistently prioritizes small business eligibility and capability development across the marine industrial base. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), reflecting deep expertise in naval architecture, dry-dock operations, and hull integrity services. He also regularly procures industrial valves and marine mechanical components under NAICS 332911, demonstrating technical fluency in propulsion subsystems and fluid control systems critical to cutter operations. Briggs’ domain expertise centers on integrating commercial marine technologies into federal naval platforms while ensuring compliance with Coast Guard engineering specifications and lifecycle sustainment requirements.
