Donna M Scandaliato

Donna Scandaliato serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Coast Guard’s SFLC Procurement Branch 1 (70Z080), supporting the sustainment and modernization of the Coast Guard’s fleet of cutters and maritime assets. Though holding no formal title, her role as a secondary contact is integral to the execution of complex shipbuilding, repair, and maintenance acquisitions. She facilitates the lifecycle management of naval vessels through contracts for dry dock overhauls, propulsion system upgrades, and hull integrity restoration, ensuring operational readiness for coastal and open-ocean missions. Her work directly enables mission-critical asset longevity and compliance with Department of Homeland Security maritime security standards. Scandaliato maintains consistent procurement relationships with specialized maritime industrial contractors, including Fairbanks Morse, LLC for engine systems, Thoma-Sea Marine Constructors for vessel construction and conversion, Bay Ship & Yacht Co for repair and refit services, Automatic Coating Limited USA for protective coatings, and Technico Corporation for technical support and system integration. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in naval architecture, marine engineering, and Coast Guard-specific compliance requirements, indicating a focus on long-term vendor reliability over transactional sourcing. Her contracting activity demonstrates a strong emphasis on small business participation, with nearly 38% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and only a marginal fraction allocated to women-owned small businesses. The majority of procurements remain open competition, reflecting a balanced approach that prioritizes capability while actively fostering small business engagement within the maritime industrial base. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 811310 for industrial machinery repair, 333618 for engine equipment manufacturing, and 332999 for fabricated metal products, underscoring deep technical expertise in propulsion systems, marine mechanical components, and vessel structural maintenance. Her domain knowledge spans naval engineering, corrosion control, and maritime systems integration, making her a critical link between operational needs and industrial supply chain execution.
