Lauren Bossingham

Lauren Bossingham serves as the primary Point of Contact for the U.S. Coast Guard’s Facility Construction Program under FDCC(00047), facilitating the acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure to sustain operational readiness and personnel welfare. She plays a central role in coordinating the planning, solicitation, and award phases of construction projects, ensuring alignment with Coast Guard strategic priorities including training center modernization, command facility upgrades, and family housing development. Her work spans the full lifecycle of commercial and institutional building contracts, from requirements definition through contract administration, with a focus on delivering resilient, code-compliant facilities that support 24/7 maritime operations. Bossingham maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced construction contractors, including FIBER BUSINESS SOLUTIONS GROUP INC, WHITING-TURNER CONTRACTING COMPANY, and RQ CONSTRUCTION, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established general contractors with proven expertise in federal construction standards, utility integration, and facility modernization. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and contractor reliability, fostering long-term collaboration with vendors capable of delivering complex, high-stakes projects under stringent federal oversight. She demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 40% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of contracts remain open to all eligible bidders, her consistent use of small business set-asides signals a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for qualified small firms in the federal construction sector, aligning with broader Department of Homeland Security socioeconomic goals. Her procurement activity is exclusively focused on NAICS 236220 — Commercial and Institutional Building Construction — reflecting deep expertise in the design-build and traditional bid-build delivery methods for multi-use facilities. She procures comprehensive construction services including structural, electrical, mechanical, and plumbing systems, ensuring all projects meet U.S. Coast Guard standards for durability, safety, and operational continuity.
