CWO Alberto Santos

CWO Alberto Santos serves as a key procurement lead within the U.S. Coast Guard’s LOG-9 office (70Z084), responsible for managing life-cycle support contracts critical to shore-based and maritime operational readiness. He oversees the acquisition of security systems services that ensure the integrity, safety, and functionality of Coast Guard facilities, including access control, surveillance, intrusion detection, and perimeter security infrastructure. His work directly enables mission continuity by safeguarding personnel, assets, and sensitive operations across coastal and inland waterway installations. Santos specializes in performance-based contracting methodologies and maintains strict compliance with federal acquisition regulations to deliver secure, scalable, and sustainably maintained security environments. Santos maintains consistent, long-term relationships with a core group of vendors including GILMAN CORPORATION THE, FRONTLINE ENTERPRISES LLC, ISN ALLIANCE LLC, S3 SOLUTIONS ONE LLC, and FAZTEC INDUSTRIES INC. These contractors are routinely selected for their technical proficiency in integrated security systems, compliance with DHS cybersecurity standards, and ability to deliver turnkey solutions across geographically dispersed Coast Guard units. His contracting approach emphasizes proven performance, responsive service-level agreements, and post-award oversight to ensure operational reliability and mission alignment. Santos’s procurement portfolio is exclusively non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize technical capability, scalability, and mission-critical performance over socioeconomic classifications, ensuring the Coast Guard secures the highest-quality security systems available in the marketplace without restrictive set-asides. His primary focus is on NAICS 561621—Security Systems Services (except Locksmiths)—where he procures advanced electronic security infrastructure, including CCTV networks, biometric access systems, alarm monitoring platforms, and cybersecurity-integrated physical security solutions. Santos possesses deep expertise in evaluating technical specifications for federal security standards, ensuring all acquisitions meet Coast Guard and DHS cybersecurity and physical security mandates.
