Christina M. Daley

Christina M. Daley serves as a Contracts Specialist within the SFLC Procurement Branch 3 (00040) of the U.S. Coast Guard, where she plays a critical role in executing acquisition strategies that sustain and modernize the Coast Guard’s maritime fleet. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of procurement activities—from requirements validation and solicitation development to contract award and administration—for maintenance, repair, and manufacturing services essential to vessel readiness. She specializes in complex, technical acquisitions supporting cutter sustainment, mechanical system overhauls, and industrial infrastructure upgrades, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while aligning with the Coast Guard’s operational endurance goals. Daley maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including Philadelphia Electrical Equipment Co., JDCI Enterprises, Inc., ALS Services USA, Corp., Cabras Marine Corporation, and Bay Marine Boatworks, Inc. These vendors provide niche expertise in marine mechanical systems, electrical retrofits, and vessel repair services, often delivering mission-critical support under time-sensitive operational constraints. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical proficiency, quality assurance, and performance reliability, fostering a stable supplier base capable of meeting the Coast Guard’s demanding maritime standards. Her contracting activity reflects a strong preference for unrestricted competition, with 90% of awards issued without set-asides, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic categorization. Nevertheless, she consistently allocates 10% of awards to Women-Owned Small Businesses, demonstrating a measured but intentional commitment to socioeconomic diversity within a technically driven acquisition environment. Daley’s primary industry focus lies in NAICS 811310 (commercial and industrial machinery repair), 333613 (mechanical power transmission equipment manufacturing), and 332710 (machine shops), reflecting her specialization in precision mechanical systems, propulsion components, and heavy industrial maintenance. She procures high-integrity components and services critical to cutter propulsion, electrical control systems, and hull-related infrastructure, requiring deep domain knowledge in naval architecture and marine engineering standards.
