Mack McCallon serves as a contracting professional within the U.S. Coast Guard’s SFLC Procurement Branch 3 (00040), where he oversees the acquisition of shipbuilding, repair, and maintenance services critical to sustaining the Coast Guard’s maritime fleet. His role is central to ensuring operational readiness through lifecycle management of cutters and vessels, managing complex contracts for naval architecture, dry-docking, propulsion system overhauls, and hull integrity upgrades. McCallon specializes in full-spectrum shipyard services under the Department of Homeland Security’s defense infrastructure mission, coordinating with industrial partners to deliver mission-critical maritime capabilities that meet stringent Coast Guard safety and endurance standards. He maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized maritime contractors, including Philadelphia Electrical Equipment Co., JDCI Enterprises, Inc., ALS Services USA, Corp., Cabras Marine Corporation, and Bay Marine Boatworks, Inc. These vendors are selected for their proven expertise in naval systems integration, vessel refit, and marine mechanical services. McCallon’s procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical proficiency, quality assurance compliance, and timely delivery of complex shipyard work, often involving classified or regulated maritime infrastructure. McCallon’s contracting portfolio reflects a strict preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside classifications.
