Cathy Broussard

Cathy serves as Chief of the Contracting Office for U.S. Coast Guard LOG-9 (70Z084), overseeing the full lifecycle of acquisition activities critical to sustaining shore-based and maritime operational readiness. In this leadership role, she directs the planning, solicitation, award, and administration of contracts for facility construction, maintenance, and mission-critical support services. Her portfolio encompasses complex, high-stakes procurements that ensure the functionality, safety, and habitability of Coast Guard infrastructure nationwide, aligning procurement strategy with the agency’s mission to support training, logistics, and environmental compliance across coastal and inland waterways. Cathy maintains longstanding relationships with a core group of prime contractors including GILMAN CORPORATION THE, FRONTLINE ENTERPRISES LLC, ISN ALLIANCE LLC, S3 SOLUTIONS ONE LLC, and FAZTEC INDUSTRIES INC. These partnerships are characterized by consistent recompetition and performance-based contract execution, reflecting a preference for vendors with proven expertise in industrial construction and integrated support services. Her office prioritizes accountability, compliance, and delivery reliability, fostering collaborative yet rigorously monitored vendor relationships that align with Coast Guard operational standards. Cathy’s contracting approach reflects a strong emphasis on full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside conditions. While she does not utilize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her office maintains transparent, merit-based selection processes that prioritize technical capability, past performance, and cost-effectiveness over socioeconomic classifications. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 236210 (Industrial Building Construction) and NAICS 561990 (All Other Support Services), reflecting deep expertise in the acquisition of facility modernization, maintenance, security upgrades, and mission support services. She routinely manages contracts for structural repairs, utilities infrastructure, environmental compliance systems, and integrated logistics support—domains requiring specialized technical knowledge and adherence to federal construction and safety codes.
