Courtney Baker-Williams

Courtney Baker-Williams serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Coast Guard’s LOG-9 office (70Z084), supporting the agency’s mission to sustain operational readiness through life-cycle logistics and facility support. Responsible for managing a diverse portfolio of service and supply contracts, Baker-Williams specializes in acquisitions that ensure the functionality of shore-based infrastructure, maritime support operations, and personnel readiness. Their work spans facility maintenance, environmental services, and specialized manufacturing, aligning procurement actions with strategic Coast Guard priorities for secure, habitable, and mission-critical environments. Baker-Williams maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including GILMAN CORPORATION THE, FRONTLINE ENTERPRISES LLC, S3 SOLUTIONS ONE LLC, FAZTEC INDUSTRIES INC, and VMX INTERNATIONAL LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on vendors capable of delivering integrated facility services, water transportation support, and precision manufacturing solutions. The procurement approach emphasizes reliability, compliance, and performance-based contracting, with a preference for established contractors with proven track records in federal maritime and infrastructure domains. Their contracting patterns demonstrate a strong commitment to small business participation, with 40% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and a notable 2.9% allocated to 8(a) competed contracts. While the majority of procurements remain open to all competitors (55.7%), Baker-Williams actively leverages socioeconomic programs to foster equitable access, particularly for small businesses with expertise in logistics, facility operations, and specialized fabrication. Primary NAICS focus areas include 721110 (lodging for personnel), 488390 (water transportation support services), and 713940 (recreational facilities), alongside industrial manufacturing codes such as 332313 and 332111. This reflects expertise in procuring everything from housing and recreational infrastructure to precision-forged components and plate work for maritime systems, underscoring a technical command over both service-based and industrial supply chains critical to Coast Guard readiness.
