David Humfleet

David A. Humfleet serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Coast Guard’s SFLC Procurement Branch 2 (70Z085), responsible for managing complex acquisitions to sustain and modernize the Coast Guard’s fleet of cutters and maritime vessels. His work directly supports the agency’s mission of operational readiness by overseeing shipbuilding, repair, and maintenance contracts under the National Defense Authorization Act framework. He routinely handles full lifecycle procurement actions for naval infrastructure, including vessel refits, propulsion system upgrades, and integrated marine systems, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and maritime safety standards. Humfleet maintains consistent partnerships with leading maritime industrial contractors including ROLLS-ROYCE SOLUTIONS AMERICA INC, VIGOR MARINE LLC, JAG INDUSTRIAL SERVICES, INC, G I INDUSTRIAL-MARINE, LLC, and L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED. These relationships are characterized by long-term, performance-based contract structures, often involving technical oversight of shipyard modernization, hull integrity repairs, and marine propulsion system integration. His contracting approach emphasizes vendor accountability, quality assurance, and adherence to Coast Guard-specific engineering specifications. A strong advocate for small business participation, Humfleet consistently applies Total Small Business Set-Aside authorities under FAR 19.5, with approximately 83% of his acquisitions reserved for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster capacity within the maritime industrial base and promote equitable access to federal contracts for small, qualified vendors. His socioeconomic contracting patterns prioritize inclusive competition while maintaining mission-critical performance standards. His procurement focus is overwhelmingly centered on NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), encompassing hull fabrication, dry-dock operations, and naval architecture services. He also manages a smaller portfolio under NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services) for integrated command, control, and navigation systems. Humfleet’s expertise lies at the intersection of naval engineering and federal acquisition, ensuring that technical requirements align with statutory compliance and operational readiness objectives.
