CWO Timothy McGuyrt

CWO Timothy McGuyrt serves as a key procurement lead at U.S. Coast Guard Base New Orleans (70Z029), responsible for managing facility infrastructure acquisitions critical to operational readiness and coastal resilience. His role centers on executing contract actions that sustain and modernize shore-based facilities, including building systems, utilities, and structural components exposed to harsh maritime environments. McGuyrt specializes in construction-related procurements governed by FAR Part 36, with a focus on maintaining compliance with federal building standards and climate adaptation requirements. He ensures that all acquisitions align with the Coast Guard’s mission to protect maritime infrastructure against rising sea levels and extreme weather events. McGuyrt maintains collaborative relationships with a network of qualified small business contractors, primarily in the glass and glazing specialty trade. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, his contracting patterns reflect a preference for established local and regional firms with proven experience in commercial and federal facility retrofits. He engages vendors through competitive sealed bidding and small business set-asides, fostering long-term partnerships with firms capable of delivering high-performance glazing systems, weatherproofing, and energy-efficient fenestration solutions. His procurement strategy is fully aligned with a 100% small business set-aside mandate under FAR 19.5, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. All eligible acquisitions are reserved exclusively for small businesses, with particular emphasis on firms certified as 8(a), HUBZone, or service-disabled veteran-owned. This approach strengthens regional economic resilience while ensuring access to specialized craftsmanship needed for Coast Guard facility upgrades. McGuyrt’s primary focus is NAICS 238150—Glass and Glazing Contractors—reflecting deep expertise in procuring architectural glazing, curtain wall systems, storm-resistant windows, and seismic-rated glazing for coastal installations. His technical domain centers on high-durability building envelope solutions designed to meet U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and GSA standards, ensuring facilities remain operational under extreme environmental stress.
