Carol Burgess

Carol Burgess serves as a key procurement lead within the U.S. Coast Guard’s LOG-9 office (70Z084), responsible for managing life-cycle support contracts critical to sustaining shore-based and maritime operational readiness. She oversees the acquisition of essential environmental, facility, and logistical services that ensure habitable, secure, and mission-ready conditions for Coast Guard personnel. Her portfolio centers on non-defense, infrastructure-enabling contracts, with a strong emphasis on landscaping and solid waste management services that directly support the Coast Guard’s nationwide network of stations, bases, and training facilities. Her work ensures compliance with federal sustainability mandates while maintaining uninterrupted operational continuity across coastal and inland waterway missions. Burgess maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including GILMAN CORPORATION THE, FRONTLINE ENTERPRISES LLC, ISN ALLIANCE LLC, S3 SOLUTIONS ONE LLC, and FAZTEC INDUSTRIES INC. These vendors are regularly engaged for integrated facility support, site maintenance, and environmental compliance services. Her procurement approach favors established, performance-based contractors with proven capacity to deliver scalable, long-term service agreements under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and task-order frameworks. She prioritizes reliability, regulatory adherence, and local service presence in vendor selection. Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced commitment to socioeconomic objectives, with nearly equal distribution between Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) set-asides and open, unrestricted competitions. This strategic approach ensures competitive diversity while maintaining flexibility to meet urgent operational needs. She actively leverages the WOSB program to foster vendor development and promote equitable access to federal opportunities without compromising service quality or mission readiness. Burgess’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services) and 562111 (Solid Waste Collection), reflecting deep expertise in environmental stewardship and facility sustainment. She procures services including grounds maintenance, stormwater management, hazardous waste handling, and recycling logistics—all critical to environmental compliance and operational safety under Coast Guard and EPA standards. Her domain knowledge spans federal environmental regulations, contract performance metrics, and integrated service delivery models for remote and high-traffic installations.
