Chad Hagen

Chad Hagen serves as a key procurement lead within the 9th Coast Guard District Office, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain maritime safety and operational readiness across inland and coastal waterways. He manages acquisitions focused on marina infrastructure, vessel storage facilities, and related support systems critical to Coast Guard patrol and response operations. His responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for maintenance, repair, and modernization of waterfront infrastructure, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and operational standards. Hagen’s work directly enables the agency’s ability to maintain mission-critical assets, from dockside utilities to environmental compliance systems. Hagen collaborates with a broad range of contractors specializing in marine construction, facility maintenance, and waterfront engineering services. While no single vendor dominates his award portfolio, he consistently engages firms with demonstrated expertise in naval architecture, marine civil works, and infrastructure resiliency. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for vendors with proven experience in federal maritime environments and a strong track record in delivering complex, multi-phase projects under strict regulatory oversight. Hagen’s procurement strategy shows no preference for socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under open competition. This reflects a mission-driven focus on technical capability and operational readiness over socioeconomic targeting, though small businesses remain eligible and competitive within the open market. His approach prioritizes value, reliability, and compliance over programmatic preferences, aligning with the agency’s emphasis on mission-critical performance. His primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 713930 (Marinas), encompassing dock repairs, bulkhead construction, electrical and HVAC system upgrades, fuel storage systems, and environmental remediation at Coast Guard mooring and storage facilities. Hagen’s expertise lies in acquiring specialized marine infrastructure services that ensure operational continuity, environmental compliance, and long-term asset sustainability for the nation’s inland waterway fleet.
