James W. Ferguson

James Ferguson serves as the primary Point of Contact for the U.S. Coast Guard Logistics Command (USCG/LOGCOM), a subordinate organization under the Department of Homeland Security. In this role, he facilitates the acquisition lifecycle for critical facility and base support services essential to sustaining Coast Guard operational readiness nationwide. He coordinates with program managers, procurement staff, and vendors to ensure timely execution of contracts supporting infrastructure maintenance, environmental services, and utility-related functions. His responsibilities include pre-solicitation planning, requirement validation, and post-award administrative oversight, primarily for service-based acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation. While specific contractor names are not publicly available, Ferguson engages with a diverse pool of vendors specializing in building services and specialty trades, maintaining consistent communication with both large-capacity contractors and small business subcontractors. His working relationships reflect a collaborative, compliance-driven approach, emphasizing transparency, performance metrics, and adherence to federal procurement standards. He routinely interfaces with vendors to resolve scope ambiguities, ensure deliverables align with mission needs, and maintain contract integrity throughout the award period. Ferguson’s procurement portfolio reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately half of all acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and the other half open to all competitors. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to foster small business participation without compromising competition or mission requirements. He consistently prioritizes contracting vehicles that promote equitable access for small businesses, including those certified under HUBZone, SDVOSB, and WOSB programs, aligning with DHS and USCG diversity objectives. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561730 (landscaping), 238210 (electrical installation), 561710 (pest control), and 561790 (other building services), with secondary activity in 238990 (other specialty trade contractors). These categories reflect deep expertise in facility sustainment, environmental health, and infrastructure support services critical to Coast Guard base operations. Ferguson’s domain knowledge centers on integrated building systems, maintenance protocols, and compliance with federal environmental and safety standards.
