Mary Case

Mary Case supports the U.S. Coast Guard’s Hq Contract Operations (CG-912) unit in executing strategic acquisitions critical to national maritime security and operational readiness. She manages the procurement of aerospace, maritime, and technical services essential to modernizing the Coast Guard’s fleet and enhancing maritime domain awareness systems. Her portfolio includes contracts for vessel construction, flight training, custom software development, and satellite communications infrastructure, aligning with the agency’s priorities in coastal patrol capability, search and detection technologies, and force modernization. She plays a central role in ensuring acquisitions comply with federal contracting regulations while advancing mission-critical capabilities across maritime and aviation domains. Mary consistently collaborates with a core group of specialized shipbuilders and defense contractors, including Bollinger Shipyards, Davie Defense Inc., Rauma Marine Constructions Oy, and Rozema’s Boat Works, Inc. These partnerships reflect a focus on high-capability, niche manufacturers with proven expertise in naval vessel design, retrofitting, and maintenance. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor relationships grounded in technical reliability and compliance with Coast Guard operational standards, often involving complex, multi-year procurement cycles for custom-built or modified platforms. Her procurement strategy prioritizes broad market access, with 70% of contracts awarded without set-asides, yet she maintains a strong commitment to small business participation, consistently allocating 20% to total small business set-asides and 10% to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. This balanced approach ensures competitive bidding while fostering economic inclusion among qualified niche providers. Mary’s technical focus centers on NAICS 336413 and 336412 for aerospace and marine component manufacturing, 541511 for custom computer programming supporting command and control systems, and 611512 for flight training services. She routinely procures integrated systems combining sensor suites, propulsion upgrades, and real-time data networks, demonstrating deep expertise in maritime and aviation technology integration.
