Kevin Alexander

Kevin Alexander serves as a Contracting Officer within the U.S. Coast Guard’s Headquarters Contract Operations (CG-912), where he leads the acquisition of critical aerospace, maritime, and technical services to support national security, operational readiness, and fleet modernization. His portfolio centers on strategic procurements for coastal and riverine patrol vessels, maritime domain awareness systems, and specialized vessel sustainment programs, ensuring the Coast Guard maintains mission-critical capabilities through timely, compliant, and performance-based contracting. He manages full lifecycle acquisitions from requirements development through contract award and administration, applying federal acquisition regulations to complex, high-stakes procurements involving advanced engineering and naval architecture. Kevin maintains consistent, long-term relationships with key shipbuilding and maritime systems 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 preference for established industry partners with proven expertise in vessel design, construction, and modernization. His contracting approach emphasizes technical rigor, risk mitigation, and performance accountability, often involving complex contract types such as cost-plus-fixed-fee and fixed-price incentive structures to align contractor incentives with mission outcomes. Kevin’s procurement activity is exclusively conducted under no set-aside classifications, indicating a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While he does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his approach ensures rigorous evaluation based on technical capability, past performance, and industrial capacity, aligning with the Coast Guard’s need for specialized, high-integrity maritime solutions. His primary acquisition focus is on NAICS 511210—Software Publishers, specifically those engaged in maritime domain awareness software, sensor integration systems, and vessel command and control platforms. He procures advanced software solutions that enable real-time surveillance, data fusion, and operational decision support, demonstrating deep expertise in the intersection of naval systems and mission-critical software architectures.
