Caitlyn Nottingham

Caitlyn Nottingham serves as Assistant Warehouse Manager for the SFLC Procurement Branch 1 (70Z080) within the U.S. Coast Guard, supporting the sustainment and modernization of the nation’s maritime fleet. In this critical logistics and supply chain role, she oversees the receipt, storage, and distribution of critical spare parts and maintenance components essential to cutter repair, dry dock overhauls, and propulsion system upgrades. Her work directly enables operational readiness by ensuring timely availability of mission-critical naval hardware, bridging procurement actions with field maintenance needs across coastal and open-ocean operations. She primarily handles acquisitions tied to warehouse logistics, parts inventory management, and just-in-time delivery of marine components. Nottingham maintains consistent procurement 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. These vendors provide specialized marine parts, coating systems, and vessel repair services critical to Coast Guard asset longevity. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, technically capable suppliers with proven experience in naval maintenance and corrosion control, indicating a focus on reliability, compliance, and just-in-time fulfillment rather than broad competition. Her procurement activity shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven prioritization of technical capability and supply chain continuity over socioeconomic preferences, consistent with the Coast Guard’s need for certified, high-integrity components under stringent maritime standards. Her primary NAICS focus is 423120—Motor Vehicle Supplies and New Parts Merchant Wholesalers—indicating deep specialization in procuring standardized and custom marine spare parts, gaskets, bearings, valves, and propulsion system components. Her expertise lies in managing the flow of technically specified, military-grade hardware essential to vessel sustainment, demonstrating a strong command of naval logistics standards and parts traceability requirements.
