Courtney Woodley

Courtney Woodley serves as a key procurement lead within the C5I Division 3 Portsmouth, part of the U.S. Coast Guard under the Department of Homeland Security, where she manages acquisitions critical to modernizing maritime command, control, communications, computers, cyber, and intelligence (C5I) systems. Her responsibilities include planning, soliciting, and awarding contracts for advanced communications equipment and integrated surveillance technologies that enhance maritime domain awareness, search and rescue coordination, and national security operations. She specializes in complex technical procurements involving secure data transmission, navigation systems, and cyber-resilient infrastructure, ensuring alignment with DHS and Coast Guard operational requirements. Her primary contractor relationship is with Trimble Inc., a recognized leader in precision positioning and communications hardware, indicating a consistent preference for vendors with proven expertise in ruggedized, mission-critical communications equipment. Woodley’s procurement patterns reflect a focus on established defense and aerospace-tier suppliers with demonstrated capability in delivering high-reliability systems under stringent operational environments. While her portfolio is dominated by a single key vendor, her engagement reflects a results-driven approach prioritizing technical performance, interoperability, and lifecycle support over vendor diversity. Woodley’s contracting activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This indicates a procurement strategy centered on technical merit and system compatibility rather than socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the mission-critical nature of C5I systems where performance and reliability are paramount. Her primary NAICS classification is 334290—Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing—reflecting a sharp specialization in procuring custom and commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) communications hardware, including software-defined radios, satellite terminals, and integrated sensor networks. Her technical domain expertise lies in maritime-specific RF systems, encrypted data links, and network-centric infrastructure designed for austere, high-seas operational conditions.
