Kristopher Onstott

Kristopher Onstott serves as a Contract Specialist within the U.S. Coast Guard’s LOG-9 organization (70Z084), where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to sustain shore-based and maritime operational readiness. He manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for essential support services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and strategic resource alignment. His portfolio centers on facility maintenance, environmental services, and logistical support contracts critical to the Coast Guard’s ability to maintain habitable, secure, and mission-ready infrastructure across coastal and inland operational zones. Onstott specializes in non-personal services acquisitions under FAR Part 12 and Part 37, frequently utilizing performance-based contracting and indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms to ensure responsive and scalable service delivery. Onstott maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including GILMAN CORPORATION THE, FRONTLINE ENTERPRISES LLC, ISN ALLIANCE LLC, S3 SOLUTIONS ONE LLC, and FAZTEC INDUSTRIES INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in facility services, fire protection, and specialized air logistics. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, past performance evaluation, and technical compliance, fostering long-term vendor collaboration while maintaining rigorous oversight to ensure service quality and regulatory adherence. His procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of his awards set aside for SBA Certified Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Businesses (EDWOSB) under FAR 19.15, while the majority remain open to full and open competition. This pattern demonstrates a deliberate effort to promote small business participation without compromising mission requirements, aligning with Coast Guard objectives to diversify the supplier base while maintaining operational continuity. Onstott’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services), 922160 (Fire Protection), and 481212 (Nonscheduled Chartered Freight Air Transportation), each representing approximately one-third of his activity. He specializes in procuring facility maintenance, emergency response systems, and time-sensitive air cargo support for remote or austere locations, demonstrating deep expertise in mission-critical logistics and infrastructure sustainment within a high-regulatory, security-sensitive environment.
