Maria L Negron

Maria L. Negron serves as a key procurement lead within the U.S. Coast Guard’s LOG-9 office (70Z084), supporting the agency’s mission to sustain operational readiness through life-cycle support services for shore-based and maritime infrastructure. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on facility maintenance, environmental services, security systems, and mission-critical support functions essential to Coast Guard personnel and operations. Her work ensures that facilities remain habitable, secure, and fully functional across the nation’s coastal and inland waterways, aligning procurement activities with strategic readiness goals and federal compliance standards. Negron maintains consistent 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 reflect a preference for established vendors capable of delivering integrated services such as pest control, security system installation, waste management, and facility operations. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, performance-based outcomes, and long-term vendor collaboration to meet the Coast Guard’s continuous operational demands. Her procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 70% of awards issued without set-asides, while actively promoting small business participation through 20% Total Small Business Set-Asides and targeted 8(a) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides at 5% each. This balanced approach ensures market competition while fulfilling statutory obligations to foster socioeconomic diversity in federal contracting. Negron’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 562111 (Solid Waste Collection), 561621 (Security Systems Services), 561710 (Pest Control Services), and 621512 (Diagnostic Imaging Centers), reflecting the Coast Guard’s need for environmental compliance, facility security, and health services in remote and operational locations. Her expertise lies in procuring mission-enabling services that support both daily operations and emergency response readiness across a geographically dispersed infrastructure network.
