In this role, he manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for mission-critical infrastructure and facility sustainment services, ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and operational readiness requirements. His acquisitions primarily support construction, maintenance, and utility modernization projects essential to sustaining safe, compliant training environments for Coast Guard personnel. Hinkle specializes in complex, performance-based contracts for facility systems, with a focus on delivering reliable, long-term operational value through strategic sourcing and risk-managed contracting practices. While specific contractor names are not publicly available, Hinkle maintains consistent partnerships with vendors specializing in facility infrastructure, including plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and specialty construction trades. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for experienced, technically capable contractors capable of meeting stringent federal compliance and safety standards. He fosters collaborative relationships with both large-capacity firms and small business subcontractors, emphasizing quality assurance, performance metrics, and timely delivery in high-stakes operational environments. Hinkle demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly 59% of his acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5. He actively prioritizes small business participation, complemented by a modest 3.3% allocation for local area set-asides under FAR 26.2. His contracting approach aligns with DHS and Coast Guard mandates to expand opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and community-based vendors, reinforcing equitable access while maintaining mission integrity. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 238220 (plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning), 237110 (water and sewer line construction), and 238320/238330 (painting and flooring contractors), reflecting deep expertise in facility systems and utility infrastructure.
