Mkc Richard Fischer

Mkc Richard Fischer serves as a key procurement lead within the U.S. Coast Guard’s LOG-9 office (70Z084), overseeing the acquisition of critical life-cycle support services essential to maintaining shore-based and maritime operational readiness. His role centers on managing construction and exterior contracting activities that ensure the integrity, safety, and functionality of Coast Guard facilities, including piers, barracks, training centers, and environmental infrastructure. Fischer specializes in sole-source and full-and-open competitions under FAR Part 19, consistently aligning acquisitions with the agency’s mission to sustain secure, habitable, and mission-critical environments across the nation’s coastal and inland waterways. Fischer maintains strong, recurring relationships with a core group of contractors including GILMAN CORPORATION THE, FRONTLINE ENTERPRISES LLC, ISN ALLIANCE LLC, S3 SOLUTIONS ONE LLC, and FAZTEC INDUSTRIES INC. These firms are routinely engaged for complex exterior construction, structural reinforcement, and facility modernization efforts. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in maritime-compatible building systems and environmental compliance, fostering long-term partnerships built on reliability, safety standards, and rapid response capabilities. Fischer’s procurement strategy is fully aligned with a 100% Total Small Business Set-Aside mandate under FAR 19.5, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. All awarded contracts are reserved exclusively for small businesses, ensuring broad participation across diverse categories including 8(a), HUBZone, and women-owned small businesses. This approach not only fulfills statutory obligations but also strengthens the Coast Guard’s resilience by cultivating a robust, agile small business industrial base. His primary technical focus is on NAICS 238190—Other Foundation, Structure, and Building Exterior Contractors—where he procures specialized services such as marine pilings, seawall construction, roofing systems, waterproofing, and exterior cladding tailored to harsh coastal conditions. Fischer’s domain expertise lies in integrating durable, corrosion-resistant materials and code-compliant construction techniques that meet Coast Guard’s stringent operational and environmental standards.
