Dan Faivre

Daniel J. Faivre serves as a key procurement lead within the U.S. Coast Guard’s SFLC Procurement Branch 2 (70Z085), overseeing the acquisition of critical maritime infrastructure and vessel sustainment services. Responsible for managing complex contract actions across shipbuilding, repair, and environmental remediation, Faivre ensures alignment with the Coast Guard’s operational readiness goals. His portfolio centers on lifecycle management of cutters and naval vessels, with a focus on long-term maintenance, modernization, and mission-critical support services. He routinely handles sole-source, competitive, and negotiated procurements under FAR Part 13 and Part 15, prioritizing technical capability, reliability, and compliance with naval engineering standards. Faivre maintains established relationships with principal contractors including ROLLS-ROYCE SOLUTIONS AMERICA INC, VIGOR MARINE LLC, JAG INDUSTRIAL SERVICES, INC, G I INDUSTRIAL-MARINE, LLC, and L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in naval vessel repair, propulsion system integration, marine industrial services, and shipyard infrastructure support. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, sustained vendor accountability, and technical validation through rigorous source selection criteria, fostering long-term collaboration with industry partners capable of meeting stringent Coast Guard operational requirements. Faivre’s procurement strategy allocates 40% of awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a strong commitment to small business participation across socioeconomic categories. While no specific set-aside programs like 8(a) or HUBZone dominate his portfolio, his consistent use of small business set-asides reflects a deliberate effort to cultivate a resilient, diversified vendor base capable of delivering specialized maritime services. His contracting patterns prioritize capability over size, ensuring small businesses with relevant naval experience are competitively positioned. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), 562910 (Remediation Services), 488330 (Navigational Services to Shipping), and 562112 (Hazardous Waste Collection), reflecting a multidisciplinary approach to vessel sustainment. He procures services ranging from dry-dock maintenance and hull integrity assessments to marine environmental compliance and navigational system upgrades, underscoring deep technical expertise in maritime engineering and regulatory compliance domains.
