Magdalena Pitre

Magdalena Pitre supports critical C5I mission objectives within the C5I Division 1 Alexandria under the U.S. Coast Guard and Department of Homeland Security, managing procurements that sustain and modernize secure, enterprise-wide command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence systems. Her work ensures the operational resilience of maritime domain awareness capabilities by acquiring integrated telecommunications, satellite infrastructure, and mission-critical software solutions. She handles complex acquisitions under FAR Part 15, typically involving full and open competition with a strong emphasis on small business set-asides, ensuring that technical requirements align with national security standards and cybersecurity compliance frameworks such as NIST SP 800-53 and CMMC. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Pitre maintains a consistent procurement pattern focused on partnerships with small businesses certified under socioeconomic programs, particularly those capable of delivering secure telecommunications and intelligence support services. Her contracting approach fosters long-term vendor relationships with firms possessing specialized expertise in secure network architecture, encrypted communications, and real-time data integration—often requiring cleared personnel and FedRAMP-compliant cloud environments. She prioritizes agile, iterative acquisition strategies that accommodate evolving threat landscapes and emerging technologies. Pitre’s portfolio is exclusively set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, reflecting a 100% commitment to small business participation. This reflects a strategic alignment with DHS and Coast Guard mandates to expand economic opportunity while ensuring access to innovative, niche capabilities. Her contracting patterns consistently favor service-disabled veteran-owned, HUBZone, and women-owned small businesses, reinforcing the agency’s socioeconomic goals without compromising mission readiness. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 517810 (All Other Telecommunications), where she acquires satellite-based communication systems, tactical data links, and secure wireless networks, and NAICS 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services), supporting geospatial and environmental monitoring systems that enhance maritime situational awareness. Her technical expertise spans secure RF spectrum management, interoperable C4ISR architectures, and integrated intelligence platforms essential to Coast Guard operational effectiveness.
