Crystal Worsley

Crystal Worsley serves as Supervisory Contract Specialist at U.S. Coast Guard Base New Orleans (70Z029), where she leads the planning, solicitation, and award of acquisitions critical to sustaining shore-based infrastructure. Her role ensures compliance with FAR and agency-specific policies while advancing the Base’s mission to modernize facilities supporting maritime safety, security, and environmental resilience. She oversees a diverse portfolio of contracts spanning engineering services, institutional furniture, and specialized instructional programs, managing full lifecycle procurement activities from requirement development to contract closeout. Worsley collaborates closely with facility managers, engineers, and program officers to align acquisitions with strategic infrastructure goals and federal building standards. While specific contractor names are not publicly identified, Worsley maintains consistent partnerships with firms capable of delivering technical, logistical, and educational support services essential to Coast Guard operations. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for vendors with demonstrated expertise in facility modernization, engineering design, and institutional-grade furniture fabrication. She fosters collaborative relationships with both large-capacity contractors and small businesses, emphasizing performance reliability, regulatory compliance, and mission alignment over transactional vendor interactions. Worsley demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately one-third of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Her contracting approach prioritizes socioeconomic programs that expand opportunities for small businesses, though the majority of awards remain open to all competitors. She actively promotes fair competition while ensuring small business inclusion aligns with agency goals and regulatory mandates. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), 337127 (Institutional Furniture Manufacturing), and 611699 (All Other Miscellaneous Schools and Instruction). These categories reflect her specialization in procuring facility upgrades, durable educational and administrative furnishings, and non-traditional training programs that support Coast Guard workforce development and operational readiness.
