Guiljohn A. Alcantara

Guiljohn A. Alcantara serves as a secondary procurement specialist within the U.S. Coast Guard’s Ceu OAKLAND(00088) office, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain and modernize critical maritime infrastructure. In this role, he contributes to the planning, solicitation, and administration of civil engineering and construction contracts essential to navigational safety, port security, and base resilience. His responsibilities include coordinating acquisition activities for heavy civil works, facility upgrades, and environmental compliance projects, ensuring alignment with federal procurement regulations and operational priorities across coastal and inland waterways. While specific contractor relationships are not currently documented in available records, Alcantara’s procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with contractors specializing in heavy civil engineering, commercial building construction, and mechanical systems installation. He collaborates with a diverse pool of vendors, including both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors, fostering partnerships that emphasize technical proficiency, regulatory compliance, and project execution in challenging maritime environments. Alcantara demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with over half of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, alongside a notable 8(a) competed preference. His contracting approach prioritizes opportunities for small disadvantaged businesses, reflecting the agency’s broader goals to expand equitable access to federal construction contracts and strengthen community-based economic resilience. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), encompassing dredging, wharf rehabilitation, and coastal protection works, complemented by significant activity in commercial building construction (236220) and plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning systems (238220). This technical specialization underscores his expertise in managing complex, mission-critical infrastructure projects that require precise engineering oversight and environmental stewardship in sensitive coastal zones.
