Erica Perry

Erica Perry serves as the primary procurement lead for the SFLC Procurement Branch 3 (70Z040) within the U.S. Coast Guard, overseeing the acquisition of critical maritime maintenance, repair, and operational support services essential to sustaining the Coast Guard’s fleet readiness. Her role centers on executing contract actions that align with the agency’s mission to ensure the lifecycle sustainability of cutters, vessels, and associated marine systems. She manages a diverse portfolio of procurements spanning shipbuilding, equipment repair, and specialized marine infrastructure support, consistently applying Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) protocols to deliver mission-critical capabilities while ensuring compliance with statutory sourcing requirements. Perry maintains established working relationships with a core group of industry partners, including Philadelphia Electrical Equipment Co., JDCI Enterprises, Inc., ALS Services USA, Corp., Cabras Marine Corporation, and Bay Marine Boatworks, Inc. These contractors provide specialized expertise in vessel maintenance, electrical system integration, marine fabrication, and commercial marine repair services. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, leveraging proven performance histories to ensure quality, reliability, and timely delivery of complex maritime support solutions. A defining feature of Perry’s contracting strategy is her strong emphasis on small business participation, with over two-thirds of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate and consistent commitment to expanding economic opportunity among qualified small businesses in the maritime and industrial services sectors, with minimal use of no-set-aside procurements. Her pattern underscores the agency’s broader goal of fostering a resilient, diverse supplier base capable of supporting national maritime security objectives. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 532490 (commercial machinery leasing), NAICS 336611 (shipbuilding and repair), and NAICS 811310 (industrial machinery repair), reflecting deep expertise in marine engineering, vessel maintenance systems, and electrical/mechanical component servicing. She routinely acquires specialized marine equipment, repair services, and industrial support systems critical to maintaining the operational endurance of Coast Guard assets across diverse maritime environments.
