Judy S Suttles

Judy S. Suttles serves as a Contract Specialist within the U.S. Coast Guard’s Headquarters Contract Operations (CG-912), where she plays a pivotal role in executing strategic acquisitions that support national maritime security and operational readiness. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts for technical, aerospace, and maritime services, with a focus on modernizing vessel fleets, enhancing maritime domain awareness systems, and procuring critical computing infrastructure. Her work directly enables the Coast Guard’s mission to sustain and advance coastal patrol capabilities through timely, compliant, and mission-aligned procurement actions. Suttles maintains consistent procurement relationships with key shipbuilding and defense contractors including Bollinger Shipyards Lockport, L.L.C., Davie Defense Inc., Rauma Marine Constructions Oy, and Rozema’s Boat Works, Inc. These partnerships reflect a focus on specialized vessel construction, maintenance, and technical integration services. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, performance-based outcomes, and adherence to defense acquisition regulations, ensuring alignment with Coast Guard operational requirements and lifecycle sustainment goals. Suttles’ portfolio reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides under 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her award patterns, her contracting actions remain fully compliant with federal acquisition regulations and emphasize value, capability, and mission necessity over socioeconomic categorization. Her primary procurement focus lies in five NAICS categories, each representing 20% of her activity: custom computer programming services, other computer-related services, computing infrastructure and data processing, educational support services, and other individual and family services. This diverse technical portfolio underscores her expertise in procuring mission-critical IT systems, training support, and operational services that underpin the Coast Guard’s digital transformation and workforce readiness initiatives.
