Laurie S. Cordeiro serves as a Procurement Technician for the U.S. Coast Guard’s CEU PROVIDENCE (70Z0G1), supporting the agency’s mission to sustain and modernize critical maritime infrastructure. In this role, she facilitates the acquisition of construction and engineering services essential to maintaining operational readiness across Coast Guard facilities nationwide. Her responsibilities include preparing solicitation documents, managing contract administration tasks, and ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations, particularly in the areas of civil engineering and facility upgrades. She routinely handles complex, multi-year contracts for the construction, repair, and renovation of barracks, training centers, boat maintenance facilities, and utility systems that underpin Coast Guard missions in search and rescue, law enforcement, and homeland security. Cordeiro maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including TERRY CONTRACTING & MATERIALS, INC., GALVIN BROS & MADHUE CONTRACTING JV, CHESTERFIELD ASSOCIATES INC, FULLER MARINE SERVICES, INC, and AGM MARINE CONTRACTORS INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in heavy civil construction and marine infrastructure projects. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, technical capability, and past performance, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in regulatory adherence and performance accountability. A strong advocate for small business participation, Cordeiro consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with approximately 83% of her acquisitions reserved for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to expand economic opportunity within the defense and infrastructure sectors while ensuring competitive, high-quality service delivery. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a robust commitment to socioeconomic programs, aligning with federal goals to enhance small business access to government contracts. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), encompassing large-scale infrastructure projects such as docks, seawalls, and utility upgrades. She also regularly procures commercial building construction (NAICS 236220) and specialized marine equipment (NAICS 336214), demonstrating technical familiarity with both civil engineering and marine operational needs. Cordeiro’s expertise centers on delivering mission-critical assets through compliant, efficient, and equitable contracting practices.
