Kyler Madison

Kyler Madison serves as a procurement lead within the SFLC Procurement Branch 1 (70Z080) of the U.S. Coast Guard, overseeing acquisitions critical to the sustainment and modernization of the Coast Guard’s fleet of cutters and maritime assets. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of shipbuilding, repair, and maintenance contracts, Madison ensures operational readiness through strategic procurement of vessel overhaul services, propulsion system upgrades, and dry dock capabilities. Their work directly supports the Coast Guard’s mission to maintain a resilient, seaworthy fleet capable of executing coastal, offshore, and open-ocean operations under demanding environmental conditions. Madison maintains consistent contracting relationships with specialized maritime industrial partners, including Fairbanks Morse, LLC for propulsion and auxiliary systems, Bay Ship & Yacht Co for vessel repair and conversion, Thoma-Sea Marine Constructors, L.L.C. for shipbuilding and structural refurbishment, Automatic Coating Limited USA for marine coating and corrosion control, and Technico Corporation for technical services and maintenance support. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in naval architecture, marine engineering, and Coast Guard-specific compliance standards, fostering long-term, performance-based collaborations grounded in quality and regulatory adherence. All acquisitions managed by Madison are fully set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a rigorous commitment to socioeconomic contracting and small business development. This 100% small business set-aside policy ensures that qualified small firms—particularly those with niche capabilities in shipyard services, marine coatings, and naval maintenance—have equitable access to federal opportunities, reinforcing the Coast Guard’s broader goal of cultivating a robust, resilient industrial base. Madison’s procurement portfolio is exclusively focused on NAICS 488310 (Port and Harbor Operations), which encompasses vessel repair, maintenance, dry docking, and marine infrastructure support services. Their technical expertise lies in managing complex, mission-critical contracts requiring adherence to U.S. Navy and Coast Guard naval standards, including corrosion control, structural integrity, and propulsion system compliance, ensuring that all contracted work meets stringent operational and safety requirements for maritime assets.
