Estefan Mengoli

Estefan Mengoli serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Coast Guard’s SFLC Procurement Branch 3 (70Z040), responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize the Coast Guard’s maritime fleet and operational infrastructure. Focused on vessel lifecycle management, Mengoli oversees contracts for shipbuilding, repair, maintenance, and mission-critical equipment procurement, ensuring the readiness and endurance of Coast Guard cutters and support systems. Their work directly supports the agency’s strategic imperatives in naval asset modernization, with a strong emphasis on technical compliance, long-term operational reliability, and regulatory adherence under FAR and Coast Guard-specific acquisition directives. Mengoli maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including PHILADELPHIA ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT CO, JDCI ENTERPRISES, INC., ALS SERVICES USA, CORP., CABRAS MARINE CORPORATION, and BAY MARINE BOATWORKS, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in marine electrical systems, vessel repair, and industrial maintenance services. The procurement approach prioritizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical capability validation, and performance-based contract structures to ensure mission-critical outcomes. A strong commitment to small business participation defines Mengoli’s contracting patterns, with 88.6% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity within the maritime industrial base, consistently directing opportunities to small, locally rooted firms capable of delivering specialized marine and industrial services. No set-aside awards are limited to cases requiring unique capabilities or urgent operational needs. The procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing) and 332911 (Industrial Valve Manufacturing), indicating deep technical expertise in marine mechanical systems, propulsion components, and structural maintenance. Additional focus areas include industrial equipment leasing and industrial supply wholesaling, underscoring a holistic approach to sustaining complex maritime operations through integrated logistics and specialized hardware procurement.
