DC2 Alex Norris

DC2 Alex Norris serves as a key procurement lead at U.S. Coast Guard Base MIAMI (70Z028), responsible for managing facility sustainment and infrastructure support contracts critical to operational readiness. Within the Department of Homeland Security, Norris ensures the continued functionality of maritime infrastructure through timely and compliant acquisition of maintenance, repair, and modernization services. Their portfolio primarily encompasses landscaping, groundskeeping, and site development activities essential to base operations, with a focus on sustaining aging facilities to support national security, search and rescue, and port safety missions. Norris exercises full contracting authority under FAR Part 13 and Part 15 procedures, routinely issuing task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts to meet mission-critical timelines. Norris maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, PHOENIX MARINE LLC, ATZ SOLUTION LLC, and COMMERCIAL BLUE INC, all of whom specialize in marine and land-based infrastructure support. These partnerships are characterized by repeat engagements, performance-based delivery, and a strong emphasis on compliance with environmental and safety standards. Vendor collaboration is strategic and long-term, with a preference for contractors demonstrating proven experience in coastal and waterfront facility maintenance. All procurements managed by Norris are exclusively set-aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, reflecting a 100% commitment to small business participation. This reflects a deliberate socioeconomic strategy to empower local and regional vendors, fostering economic resilience within the maritime community while ensuring high-quality service delivery. The primary NAICS classification for all acquisitions is 561730 (Landscaping Services), encompassing site maintenance, vegetation management, erosion control, and hardscape installation. Norris’s technical expertise lies in the procurement of environmental stewardship and facility grounds services tailored to the unique demands of coastal and marine environments, ensuring compliance with federal land use and ecological protection standards.
