Marc A. Massey

Marc A. Massey serves as a Contract Specialist within the U.S. Coast Guard’s SFLC Procurement Branch 1 (70Z080), where he plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisitions to sustain and modernize the Coast Guard’s fleet of cutters and maritime assets. His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—primarily focused on shipbuilding, vessel repair, and naval maintenance contracts. Massey ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the Coast Guard’s strategic priorities of extending vessel service life and enhancing operational readiness across coastal and open-ocean missions. He maintains consistent working relationships with key industry partners including Fairbanks Morse, LLC, Bay Ship & Yacht Co, Thoma-Sea Marine Constructors, L.L.C., Automatic Coating Limited USA, and Technico Corporation, all of which specialize in marine propulsion systems, dry-dock overhauls, coating applications, and naval vessel construction. These partnerships reflect a preference for established shipyard and marine engineering firms with proven expertise in naval-grade fabrication and repair, enabling reliable delivery of mission-critical maritime capabilities. Massey demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with over 58% of his awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. He actively prioritizes small business participation, with a notable emphasis on 8(a) competed contracts and a smaller but consistent allocation to HUBZone firms, reinforcing the agency’s mission to foster equitable access to federal contracting opportunities. His procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), accounting for nearly three-quarters of his portfolio, complemented by engineering services under NAICS 541330 and niche acquisitions in nonferrous metal foundries and communications equipment. This technical specialization underscores his expertise in naval architecture, marine systems integration, and defense-grade manufacturing standards.
