Kevin Lettich

Kevin Lettich serves as a Contract Specialist within the U.S. Coast Guard’s SFLC Procurement Branch 3 (00040), where he plays a pivotal role in executing acquisitions that sustain and modernize the Coast Guard’s maritime fleet and operational infrastructure. His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—for critical ship repair, vessel systems integration, and shore-based maintenance services. He ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the Coast Guard’s strategic priorities in fleet readiness and lifecycle management. His portfolio primarily encompasses complex technical contracts requiring specialized engineering and marine logistics expertise. Lettich maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced vendors, including Philadelphia Electrical Equipment Co., JDCI Enterprises, Inc., ALS Services USA, Corp., Cabras Marine Corporation, and Bay Marine Boatworks, Inc. These contractors provide specialized capabilities in marine electrical systems, vessel maintenance, and heavy industrial equipment installation. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical proficiency, past performance, and reliability in delivering mission-critical maritime support services under demanding operational conditions. His contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 71.4% of awards issued without set-aside designation. However, he actively supports small business participation, with 28.6% of contracts awarded under Total Small Business Set-Asides in accordance with FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced commitment to both efficiency and socioeconomic goals without prioritizing specific categories like 8(a) or HUBZone. Lettich’s procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 333923 (overhead crane and hoist systems), 238210 (electrical contracting), and 424690 (chemical and allied products wholesale), reflecting deep expertise in marine infrastructure, electrical systems, and specialized logistics support. He routinely procures heavy-duty marine equipment, vessel repair components, and integrated shipboard systems, underscoring his technical proficiency in maritime engineering and maintenance domains.
