Eugene M. Feinberg

Eugene Feinberg serves as a key procurement lead within the U.S. Coast Guard’s Headquarters Contract Operations (CG-912), responsible for managing strategic acquisitions that advance maritime security, operational readiness, and fleet modernization. He oversees the procurement of specialized maritime vessels, aerospace systems, and technical services critical to coastal patrol, search and detection, and maritime domain awareness capabilities. His portfolio centers on complex, mission-critical contracts requiring rigorous technical evaluation and lifecycle support, often involving new construction, refit programs, and integrated sensor systems for Coast Guard cutters and patrol assets. Feinberg maintains long-standing relationships with core shipbuilders and maritime defense contractors, including Bollinger Shipyards, Davie Defense Inc., Rauma Marine Constructions Oy, and Rozema’s Boat Works, Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in vessel design, naval architecture, and Coast Guard-specific operational requirements. His contracting patterns indicate a reliance on established industry partners with deep experience in government maritime programs, ensuring compliance with stringent naval standards and sustainment protocols. His procurement approach prioritizes open competition, with 66.7% of awards issued without set-aside, while maintaining a robust 33.3% commitment to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This balance demonstrates a deliberate strategy to foster competition while enabling qualified small businesses to contribute to high-value maritime programs, though no specific socioeconomic categories like 8(a) or SDVOSB dominate his portfolio. Feinberg’s primary NAICS focus areas—721110, 519130, and 333923—reflect an unusual but operationally grounded alignment with lodging, information services, and crane manufacturing, suggesting potential misclassification or administrative grouping in reporting systems. Despite this, his actual technical domain expertise lies in maritime vessel acquisition, surveillance systems, and shore-based support infrastructure, indicating a need for NAICS code refinement to accurately capture his true procurement focus on naval platforms and maritime technology.
