Cam Ormiston

Cam Ormiston serves as the primary contracting professional for the U.S. Coast Guard’s CEU PROVIDENCE (70Z0G1), responsible for managing the acquisition of critical infrastructure projects that sustain and modernize Coast Guard facilities nationwide. Their role centers on executing full lifecycle procurement actions for construction and civil engineering contracts essential to operational readiness, including barracks, boat maintenance yards, training centers, and utility system upgrades. Ormiston ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contract awards with strategic mission priorities in maritime law enforcement and search and rescue support. Ormiston maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including TERRY CONTRACTING & MATERIALS, INC., GALVIN BROS & MADHUE CONTRACTING JV, CHESTERFIELD ASSOCIATES INC, FULLER MARINE SERVICES, INC, and AGM MARINE CONTRACTORS INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in heavy civil construction and marine infrastructure, often involving joint ventures and specialized marine construction capabilities. The contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous site assessments, and contractor accountability for complex, mission-critical environments. A defining feature of Ormiston’s procurement strategy is the exclusive use of Total Small Business Set-Aside authority under FAR 19.5, reflecting a robust commitment to socioeconomic contracting. All acquisitions are reserved for small businesses, fostering equitable access to federal opportunities and strengthening the capacity of small, qualified contractors to deliver high-stakes infrastructure projects. This pattern underscores a deliberate effort to cultivate a resilient small business base within the maritime construction sector. Ormiston’s procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly focused on NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), with a secondary emphasis on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction). Their technical domain expertise lies in marine infrastructure, dredging, seawall construction, and facility modernization projects requiring specialized engineering solutions for coastal and waterfront environments. This specialization ensures alignment with the Coast Guard’s operational needs in dynamic maritime settings.
