Megan Maday

Megan Maday serves as a key procurement professional within the C5I Division 2 at Kearneysville, supporting the U.S. Coast Guard’s mission to sustain and modernize command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, and information systems. She manages acquisitions for critical IT and communications infrastructure essential to maritime domain awareness, search-and-rescue coordination, and operational readiness. Her portfolio centers on securing secure, interoperable systems that enhance situational awareness and network resilience across Coast Guard assets, including vessel tracking platforms, radio frequency systems, and field-deployable communications hardware. Maday’s work ensures alignment with DoD and DHS cybersecurity standards and supports the transition to next-generation C5I architectures. While specific contractor names are not available, Maday engages with a diverse ecosystem of defense and commercial technology vendors, including manufacturers of communications equipment, precision instrumentation, and electronic maintenance providers. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established suppliers with proven capabilities in ruggedized hardware, signal processing systems, and field-service support, often requiring compliance with MIL-STD and NIST cybersecurity frameworks. She fosters long-term vendor partnerships that emphasize technical reliability, sustainment support, and rapid deployment. Maday demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately 27.3% of her acquisitions set aside for total small businesses under FAR 19.5. While no specific socioeconomic set-asides like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB are predominant, her consistent use of small business set-asides signals a deliberate effort to broaden vendor diversity and stimulate innovation from emerging defense contractors. Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 334220 and 334290, reflecting deep engagement with wireless communications equipment and other specialized communications hardware. She also routinely procures services under 811210 for repair and maintenance of electronic systems, and 334511 for navigation and detection instrumentation. This technical specialization underscores her expertise in acquiring mission-critical systems that enable real-time data fusion, radar integration, and secure maritime communications.
