MKC Mike Hemmingway

Mike Hemmingway serves as a key procurement lead at U.S. Coast Guard Base Miami (70Z028), overseeing the acquisition of specialized infrastructure and facility support services critical to maintaining operational readiness. His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for maritime facility modernization, mechanical system repairs, and base infrastructure sustainment, ensuring alignment with Coast Guard mission priorities in search and rescue, port safety, and asset resilience. Hemmingway specializes in complex, mission-critical acquisitions that require technical precision and compliance with federal facility standards, often coordinating with engineering and logistics teams to define performance-based requirements. He maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, PHOENIX MARINE LLC, ATZ SOLUTION LLC, and COMMERCIAL BLUE INC, all of whom provide specialized construction, marine maintenance, and facility systems support. These partnerships are characterized by long-term, performance-driven engagements focused on delivering durable, code-compliant infrastructure solutions. Hemmingway prioritizes vendors with proven expertise in maritime environments and federal facility standards, fostering reliable, repeat collaborations grounded in quality and regulatory adherence. Hemmingway exhibits a firm commitment to socioeconomic contracting, directing 100% of his acquisitions toward small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. His portfolio consistently awards contracts to small businesses without further socioeconomic subcategories, reflecting a strategic focus on broad-based small business participation to enhance competition and local economic resilience. This approach supports the Coast Guard’s mandate to leverage small business capacity while maintaining high standards of service delivery. His procurement activity is exclusively focused on NAICS 334416—Capacitor, Resistor, Coil, Transformer, and Other Inductor Manufacturing—indicating a specialized need for electrical components and control systems integral to facility automation, vessel support systems, and critical infrastructure instrumentation. This unusual concentration suggests he procures highly specialized electronic subsystems for marine and base operations, requiring deep technical understanding of electromagnetic compatibility, ruggedized design, and MIL-STD compliance.
