Michael Goulet

Michael Goulet serves as a key procurement lead within the SFLC Procurement Branch 1 (70Z080) of the U.S. Coast Guard, operating under the Department of Homeland Security. He is responsible for managing complex acquisition programs focused on the sustainment, modernization, and lifecycle support of the Coast Guard’s fleet of cutters and maritime assets. His work encompasses shipbuilding, dry dock overhauls, propulsion system upgrades, and hull maintenance contracts critical to maintaining operational readiness across coastal and open-ocean missions. Goulet routinely handles large-scale, multi-year naval vessel procurement actions governed by FAR Part 13 and Part 37, ensuring compliance with maritime defense standards and naval engineering specifications. He maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized shipyard and marine industrial contractors, including Fairbanks Morse, LLC, Bay Ship & Yacht Co, Thoma-Sea Marine Constructors, L.L.C., and Technico Corporation. These partnerships are built on long-term performance in vessel repair, retrofitting, and marine system integration, with a focus on technical precision and adherence to Coast Guard engineering protocols. Goulet’s contracting approach emphasizes reliability, quality assurance, and vendor accountability in high-stakes maritime environments. Goulet demonstrates a steadfast commitment to small business participation, with 100% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate capacity within the marine industrial base, ensuring equitable access for small, domestically owned firms capable of delivering specialized shipyard services. His procurement patterns consistently prioritize small business vendors with proven expertise in naval maintenance and marine fabrication. His technical domain centers on shipbuilding and maritime system sustainment, with a focus on naval architecture, dry docking, propulsion modernization, and corrosion control. While specific NAICS codes are not available, his portfolio is rooted in vessel construction, repair, and marine engineering services essential to maintaining the Coast Guard’s fleet integrity and mission endurance.
