She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for professional, scientific, and technical services critical to modernizing the Coast Guard’s fleet, enhancing maritime domain awareness systems, and sustaining specialized vessel capabilities. Her portfolio centers on complex service contracts requiring technical oversight, compliance with federal acquisition regulations, and alignment with mission-critical modernization priorities such as search and detection technologies and coastal patrol enhancements. Faseru maintains longstanding contracting relationships with key maritime industry partners including Bollinger Shipyards Lockport, L.L.C., Davie Defense Inc., Rauma Marine Constructions Oy, and Rozema’s Boat Works, Inc. These partnerships reflect a focus on shipbuilding, marine engineering, and technical support services essential to vessel construction, repair, and system integration. Her approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, performance-based contracting, and rigorous oversight to ensure delivery of high-integrity maritime solutions aligned with Coast Guard operational standards. Faseru’s procurement activity is exclusively conducted under non-set-aside authorities, with 100% of her contracts awarded through full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize technical capability, operational readiness, and industry-wide competition over socioeconomic set-asides, ensuring access to the broadest pool of qualified providers capable of meeting the Coast Guard’s demanding technical requirements. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—encompassing specialized engineering, systems integration, technical advisory services, and maritime logistics support. She routinely manages contracts for advanced sensor deployment, vessel modernization planning, and mission-critical technical consulting, demonstrating deep expertise in the intersection of defense acquisition and maritime operational needs.
