Marie De Vissor

Marie C. DeVisser serves as the primary contracting lead for the SFLC Procurement Branch 3 (70Z040) within the U.S. Coast Guard, overseeing the acquisition of critical maritime infrastructure and vessel support systems. Her role is central to sustaining the Coast Guard’s operational readiness by managing full lifecycle procurement for shipbuilding, repair, and maintenance services. She specializes in complex, technical contracts for prefabricated metal components and structural systems essential to cutter modernization, repair facilities, and fleet sustainment. Her acquisitions directly support the Coast Guard’s mission to ensure maritime safety, security, and environmental stewardship through durable, high-performance vessel infrastructure. DeVisser maintains long-standing relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including Philadelphia Electrical Equipment Co., JDCI Enterprises, Inc., ALS Services USA, Corp., Cabras Marine Corporation, and Bay Marine Boatworks, Inc. These partners provide niche expertise in marine electrical systems, vessel fabrication, and repair services tailored to Coast Guard specifications. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical proficiency, quality assurance, and proven performance in high-stakes maritime environments, fostering collaborative, performance-based vendor partnerships grounded in reliability and compliance with naval standards. DeVisser’s contracting portfolio reflects a consistent preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued without set-aside designations. This pattern indicates a focus on selecting the most technically capable and cost-effective vendors regardless of socioeconomic status, prioritizing mission-critical performance over programmatic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally targeted in her portfolio, her evaluations emphasize vendor capability, past performance, and compliance with federal maritime procurement standards. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 332311—Prefabricated Metal Building and Component Manufacturing—reflecting deep expertise in acquiring structural metal systems, modular marine components, and custom-fabricated vessel parts. She procures engineered solutions for dry docks, maintenance bays, and integrated hull systems, requiring precise adherence to Coast Guard engineering specifications and naval architecture standards. Her domain knowledge centers on the intersection of metal fabrication, marine corrosion resistance, and lifecycle sustainment for federal maritime assets.
