Connet M Broadnax

Connet M. Broadnax serves as a Contract Specialist within the U.S. Coast Guard’s LOG-9 office (70Z084), responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions that sustain shore-based and maritime operational readiness. Specializing in non-defense, mission-critical support services, Broadnax executes acquisitions under FAR and DFARS guidelines to secure essential facilities maintenance, environmental services, and logistical support critical to Coast Guard personnel and infrastructure. Their portfolio includes complex, performance-based contracts requiring rigorous source selection, contract administration, and compliance oversight to ensure alignment with national security and environmental stewardship objectives. Broadnax maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of vendors including GILMAN CORPORATION THE, FRONTLINE ENTERPRISES LLC, S3 SOLUTIONS ONE LLC, FAZTEC INDUSTRIES INC, and VMX INTERNATIONAL LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established contractors with demonstrated capability in facility operations, specialized equipment maintenance, and environmental compliance services. The working relationships are characterized by collaborative contract execution, proactive performance monitoring, and a focus on long-term service continuity rather than transactional procurement. Broadnax demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly 40% of awards directed toward small business set-asides—primarily HUBZone and Total Small Business (FAR 19.5) programs. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, the consistent use of HUBZone and small business set-asides reflects a deliberate strategy to foster regional economic development and increase participation from underserved communities in Coast Guard supply chains. Their procurement focus centers on NAICS 562111 (Solid Waste Collection), 333923 (Overhead Crane and Hoist Manufacturing), and 722310 (Food Service Contractors), indicating deep expertise in environmental services, industrial equipment procurement, and garrison support operations. Broadnax also regularly manages contracts in landscaping and air traffic control support, showcasing a broad technical understanding of infrastructure and operational readiness domains critical to the Coast Guard’s shore-side mission.
