Donna Y Eubanks

Donna Eubanks serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Coast Guard’s SFLC Procurement Branch 1 (70Z080), where she supports the acquisition of critical shipbuilding, repair, and maintenance services essential to sustaining the Coast Guard’s fleet of cutters and maritime assets. Her work directly enables operational readiness across coastal, offshore, and open-ocean missions by managing complex contracts for vessel overhauls, dry dock services, and propulsion system upgrades. Eubanks specializes in large-scale naval procurement under FAR Part 13 and Part 15, frequently handling competitive sealed bidding and negotiated contracts for shipyard services and industrial support. She maintains enduring relationships with core contractors including Fairbanks Morse, LLC, Bay Ship & Yacht Co, Thoma-Sea Marine Constructors, L.L.C., Automatic Coating Limited USA, and Technico Corporation, all of which are recognized for their expertise in naval vessel fabrication, corrosion protection, and mechanical system modernization. These partnerships reflect a preference for established, technically capable vendors with proven track records in military maritime environments, often involving long-term performance-based agreements and integrated logistics support. Eubanks’ contracting patterns show a strong emphasis on open competition, with 76.8% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, while maintaining a consistent 23.2% allocation to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced approach that prioritizes technical capability while actively engaging small businesses in the maritime industrial base without compromising mission-critical requirements. Her procurement focus is overwhelmingly centered on NAICS 336611—Ship Building and Repairing—accounting for 96.3% of her portfolio. She routinely acquires services related to structural refurbishment, hull integrity restoration, electrical and propulsion system upgrades, and marine coating applications, demonstrating deep domain expertise in naval engineering and lifecycle asset management.
