John T. Boyd

John T. Boyd serves as a Contract Specialist within the U.S. Coast Guard’s SFLC Procurement Branch 2 (70Z085), where he plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisitions to sustain and modernize the Coast Guard’s fleet of cutters and maritime vessels. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contract management—from solicitation and evaluation to award and administration—for mission-critical shipbuilding, repair, and maintenance initiatives. He specializes in procuring engineered systems and industrial services essential to naval infrastructure readiness, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and operational requirements for coastal and open-ocean missions. Boyd maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including ROLLS-ROYCE SOLUTIONS AMERICA INC, VIGOR MARINE LLC, JAG INDUSTRIAL SERVICES, INC, G I INDUSTRIAL-MARINE, LLC, and L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED. These partnerships reflect a focus on high-capacity shipyards, marine industrial service providers, and technical system integrators capable of delivering precision-engineered solutions for propulsion, hull integrity, and vessel systems. His procurement approach emphasizes proven performance, technical capability, and long-term sustainment support, fostering stable vendor relationships built on reliability and regulatory adherence. His contracting patterns show a strong preference for full and open competition, with 93.3% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, indicating a focus on technical necessity over socioeconomic targeting. While small business participation is present at 6.7%, it is selectively applied, typically aligned with niche capabilities where qualified small firms offer unique expertise in marine systems or specialized industrial services. Boyd’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238220 (plumbing and HVAC systems), 334511 (nautical navigation and detection systems), 333923 (overhead crane and hoist systems), 333415 (commercial refrigeration and climate control equipment), and 333996 (fluid power systems). These categories reflect deep technical expertise in maritime mechanical, electrical, and environmental systems critical to cutter operational endurance and mission effectiveness.
