In this role, he oversees the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring alignment with Coast Guard mission priorities in facility modernization, environmental compliance, and workforce safety. His portfolio primarily consists of non-construction services requiring technical oversight and regulatory adherence, with a strong emphasis on maintaining resilient, mission-critical facilities. Hedges cultivates strategic relationships with a diverse pool of vendors specializing in facility services and telecommunications infrastructure, prioritizing small business participation through full small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While specific contractor names are not disclosed in available records, his contracting patterns reflect a preference for experienced service providers capable of delivering compliant, scalable solutions in janitorial operations and specialized communications support. His approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, quality assurance, and vendor accountability to ensure consistent service delivery across Coast Guard installations. A staunch advocate for socioeconomic equity in federal contracting, Hedges exclusively utilizes total small business set-asides, actively promoting opportunities for 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB firms. His procurement strategy is intentionally designed to maximize small business access, foster long-term vendor development, and strengthen regional economic resilience in alignment with DHS and Coast Guard diversity goals. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 517919 (Other Telecommunications) and 561720 (Janitorial Services), reflecting a dual emphasis on mission-critical communications infrastructure and facility maintenance. He specializes in acquiring managed network services, remote monitoring systems, and comprehensive custodial support tailored to federal facility standards, demonstrating deep expertise in service-based acquisition frameworks and performance metrics under FPMR and FAR guidelines.
