Monica Acosta

Monica Acosta serves as a key procurement lead within the U.S. Coast Guard’s LOG-9 office (70Z084), managing life-cycle support contracts critical to sustaining shore-based and maritime operational readiness. She oversees the acquisition of essential facility services, environmental remediation, and logistical support systems that ensure habitable, secure, and mission-ready environments for Coast Guard personnel. Her portfolio emphasizes non-tactical, sustainment-focused acquisitions aligned with the agency’s mission to maintain continuous operational capacity across coastal and inland waterways, with a strong emphasis on service-based contracts rather than capital equipment procurement. Acosta maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including GILMAN CORPORATION THE, FRONTLINE ENTERPRISES LLC, S3 SOLUTIONS ONE LLC, FAZTEC INDUSTRIES INC, and VMX INTERNATIONAL LLC. These vendors are frequently engaged for specialized services in linen and textile supply, facility maintenance, and environmental cleanup operations. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, repeat performers with proven capabilities in delivering high-volume, recurring services under long-term task order arrangements, indicating a reliance on trusted vendor partnerships with demonstrated compliance and performance reliability. A strong advocate for small business participation, Acosta directs approximately two-thirds of her acquisitions toward total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate strategy to expand economic opportunity within the Coast Guard’s supply chain. Her contracting approach consistently prioritizes socioeconomic programs, with a clear emphasis on enabling small business growth through targeted set-asides rather than open competitions. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 812331 (Linen Supply) and 314910 (Textile Bag and Canvas Mills), reflecting a significant demand for uniform laundering, facility linens, and durable textile products. She also actively procures remediation services (NAICS 562910) and lodging support (NAICS 721110) to sustain personnel readiness, demonstrating specialized expertise in facility sustainment, environmental compliance, and operational hospitality services critical to Coast Guard mission continuity.
