Christopher Lazenberry

Christopher Lazenberry serves as an F&S2 Contracting Officer within the U.S. Coast Guard’s SFLC Procurement Branch 2 (70Z085), where he manages critical acquisitions supporting the sustainment, repair, and modernization of the Coast Guard’s fleet of cutters and maritime vessels. His portfolio focuses on industrial and marine infrastructure contracts essential to maintaining operational readiness across coastal and open-ocean missions. Lazenberry handles complex procurement actions involving specialized shipyard services, marine component manufacturing, and lifecycle support systems, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and naval engineering standards. He maintains consistent working relationships with key industrial partners including ROLLS-ROYCE SOLUTIONS AMERICA INC, VIGOR MARINE LLC, JAG INDUSTRIAL SERVICES, INC, G I INDUSTRIAL-MARINE, LLC, and L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED. These contractors provide specialized marine fabrication, propulsion system components, and vessel maintenance services critical to Coast Guard fleet integrity. Lazenberry’s procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical validation, and performance-based contracting to ensure mission-critical deliverables meet rigorous maritime standards. Lazenberry demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately one-third of his awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of his acquisitions remain open to full and open competition, his consistent use of small business set-asides reflects a deliberate strategy to foster industry diversity and enhance resilience within the maritime industrial base. His primary procurement focus lies in three specialized NAICS categories: 314994 for rope and cordage manufacturing, 326299 for specialty rubber products, and 333316 for marine propulsion and power equipment manufacturing. These reflect deep technical expertise in procuring mission-critical marine components—including deck hardware, sealing systems, and drivetrain assemblies—essential to vessel performance, safety, and endurance in demanding maritime environments.
