Debra Chinn

Debra Chinn serves as an Engineer within the U.S. Coast Guard’s LOG-9 organization (Code: 70Z084), where she plays a critical role in managing technical acquisitions for shore-based and maritime infrastructure support. Her responsibilities include evaluating engineering specifications, overseeing contract performance, and ensuring compliance with federal construction standards for water and sewer systems, utility networks, and related civil works. As a technical subject matter expert, she bridges operational requirements with procurement execution, ensuring that facility sustainment projects meet mission-critical readiness goals for Coast Guard personnel and operations across coastal and inland waterways. Chinn maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including GILMAN CORPORATION THE, FRONTLINE ENTERPRISES LLC, ISN ALLIANCE LLC, S3 SOLUTIONS ONE LLC, and FAZTEC INDUSTRIES INC. These firms are frequently engaged for their proven expertise in water and sewer infrastructure construction, stormwater management, and utility rehabilitation. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, with a focus on technical compliance, schedule adherence, and long-term maintainability of engineered systems. Her contracting activity is exclusively non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting a preference for selecting the most technically qualified offerors regardless of socioeconomic status. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-asides, she evaluates all bidders on merit, technical capability, and past performance. Chinn’s primary procurement focus is NAICS 237110—Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction—where she specializes in acquiring civil infrastructure projects such as pipeline replacements, pump station upgrades, wastewater treatment enhancements, and storm drainage systems. Her technical domain expertise lies in municipal utility systems, hydraulic design standards, and federal construction codes applicable to federal facility sustainment, ensuring all procurements align with Coast Guard operational resilience objectives.
