David W. Mark

David W. Mark serves as a Contract Specialist within the U.S. Coast Guard’s CEU PROVIDENCE (70Z0G1), responsible for managing the full lifecycle of construction and infrastructure modernization contracts critical to sustaining operational readiness. He executes acquisitions for the repair, renovation, and construction of maritime support facilities—including barracks, training centers, boat maintenance hubs, and utility systems—ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and mission-aligned deliverables. His portfolio centers on heavy civil and specialty trade construction, requiring precise application of FAR provisions and technical oversight to meet Coast Guard standards for durability, safety, and environmental compliance. Mark maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including TERRY CONTRACTING & MATERIALS, INC., GALVIN BROS & MADHUE CONTRACTING JV, and AGM MARINE CONTRACTORS INC, among others. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in marine infrastructure, structural rehabilitation, and facility modernization. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, with a focus on vendors capable of delivering complex, multi-disciplinary projects under stringent operational constraints. His contracting patterns demonstrate a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly 50% of awards issued under total small business set-asides and an additional 3.3% reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. While the majority of procurements remain open to all competitors, Mark actively prioritizes socioeconomic programs to expand opportunities for qualified small businesses in the construction sector. His primary NAICS focus includes Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction (237990), Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (236220), and Electrical Contractors (238210), reflecting deep expertise in infrastructure systems that support Coast Guard missions. He routinely procures services involving structural upgrades, electrical and plumbing installations, marine docking systems, and specialty trade work requiring coordination with federal environmental and safety standards.
