Mark Cap

Mark Cap serves as a secondary procurement contact within the U.S. Coast Guard’s SFLC Procurement Branch 2 (70Z085), supporting the agency’s mission to sustain and modernize its fleet of cutters and maritime vessels. He assists in managing complex acquisitions related to shipbuilding, repair, and naval systems integration, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and operational readiness requirements. His role involves coordinating contract execution for maintenance, engineering, and technical services critical to the lifecycle management of Coast Guard assets, with a focus on vessel-specific infrastructure and mission-critical marine systems. Mark regularly engages with a core group of strategic contractors including ROLLS-ROYCE SOLUTIONS AMERICA INC, VIGOR MARINE LLC, JAG INDUSTRIAL SERVICES, INC, G I INDUSTRIAL-MARINE, LLC, and L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED. These partnerships reflect a reliance on specialized shipyard services, marine propulsion systems, and industrial maintenance providers with proven expertise in naval vessel overhaul and retrofitting. His working relationships are characterized by sustained collaboration with vendors possessing deep technical knowledge in maritime engineering and Coast Guard-specific operational standards. A strong emphasis on socioeconomic contracting is evident in his portfolio, with over half of acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate commitment to fostering small business participation across the maritime industrial base, particularly among firms certified as small businesses under standard size standards. While no specific socioeconomically targeted set-asides dominate, the consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a strategic alignment with federal goals to broaden vendor diversity in defense-related procurement. Mark’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), accounting for nearly two-thirds of activity, followed by 334511 for maritime navigation and detection systems and 333618 for engine equipment. He routinely procures specialized marine components, propulsion systems, precision instrumentation, and repair services for naval vessels, demonstrating technical proficiency in maritime engineering, vessel maintenance protocols, and integrated naval systems lifecycle support.
