LCDR Avery Weston serves as a key procurement lead within the U.S. Coast Guard’s LOG-9 office (70Z084), responsible for managing life-cycle support contracts critical to shore-based and maritime operational readiness. Focused on facility sustainment and mission-enabling infrastructure, Weston oversees the acquisition of specialized construction, signage, and exterior contracting services that ensure safe, functional, and compliant environments for Coast Guard personnel and training operations. Their role is central to executing the agency’s strategic imperative to maintain mission-critical infrastructure across coastal and inland waterway installations, with a consistent emphasis on timely, compliant, and performance-based contracting. Weston maintains established working relationships with a core group of contractors including GILMAN CORPORATION THE, FRONTLINE ENTERPRISES LLC, S3 SOLUTIONS ONE LLC, FAZTEC INDUSTRIES INC, and VMX INTERNATIONAL LLC. These partnerships are characterized by recurring engagements in signage fabrication, structural exterior work, and facility modernization projects, reflecting a preference for vendors with proven technical capabilities in high-stakes, government-regulated environments.

Weston’s contracting portfolio reflects a strict no set-aside policy, with 100% of awards issued as full and open competitions. This approach prioritizes technical merit, past performance, and cost-effectiveness over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with LOG-9’s operational urgency and standardized procurement protocols. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, vendors of all sizes are evaluated on equal footing based on capability and compliance. The primary NAICS focus areas are 339950 (Sign Manufacturing) and 238190 (Other Foundation, Structure, and Building Exterior Contractors), indicating deep expertise in the procurement of durable, weather-resistant signage systems and specialized exterior construction services. Weston’s domain knowledge encompasses ADA-compliant signage, structural waterproofing, facade restoration, and marine-grade materials—ensuring infrastructure meets Coast Guard’s rigorous environmental and safety standards.
