Lucia Maziar

Lucia Maziar serves as a key procurement lead within the U.S. Coast Guard’s Cg ACADEMY (70Z039), responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain the agency’s maritime training infrastructure and operational readiness. She oversees the acquisition of specialized equipment, vessel maintenance services, and logistical support critical to cadet and staff training environments. Her portfolio centers on lifecycle management of maritime assets, including boats and shipboard systems, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical readiness standards. Maziar’s work directly enables the Academy’s ability to deliver high-fidelity, real-world maritime instruction through reliable, well-maintained platforms and facilities. She maintains consistent partnerships with a select group of specialized vendors, including TOP 3D SHOP INC, VANTAGE POINT, INC, CHASE, LEAVITT & CO. INC, and CROCKER’S BOATYARD, INC. These contractors provide niche capabilities in marine fabrication, technical training support, boat repair, and facility maintenance services. Maziar cultivates long-term, performance-based relationships with these firms, prioritizing technical expertise and proven track records in Coast Guard-specific environments over broad-scale commercial providers. Maziar demonstrates a firm commitment to small business participation, with 100% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster innovation and capacity within the small business community, ensuring that qualified firms with specialized maritime skills have equitable access to federal opportunities. Her contracting patterns consistently prioritize small businesses without reliance on other socioeconomic categories, reinforcing a streamlined focus on size-based eligibility. Her procurement focus aligns with maritime asset sustainment, encompassing boat and vessel maintenance, marine mechanical systems, training simulators, and facility upgrades. While NAICS codes are not currently available, her work is deeply rooted in the marine services and defense support sectors, requiring deep technical understanding of Coast Guard vessel standards, corrosion control, and safety-compliant modifications. Maziar’s expertise lies in bridging operational needs with compliant, mission-tailored acquisitions in a highly regulated environment.
