Mr. Wayne Barnes

Mr. Wayne Barnes serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Coast Guard Base Portsmouth (70Z027), responsible for managing facility sustainment and infrastructure modernization contracts. He oversees the acquisition of specialized construction and maintenance services critical to maintaining operational readiness across barracks, stations, and logistics facilities. His portfolio centers on capital improvement projects requiring strict adherence to federal safety, environmental, and building codes, with a focus on timely delivery of mission-critical infrastructure upgrades. Barnes ensures compliance with FAR regulations while aligning acquisitions with the agency’s strategic priorities in resilience and hazard mitigation. He maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialty trade contractors, including A TO B CREATIONS INC, PARLIAMENT LLC, DOORS ON DEMAND, LLC, SANDOW CONSTRUCTION INC, and VISION CONTRACTING INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, niche vendors capable of delivering high-quality, code-compliant work in glazing, roofing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and general specialty trades. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, past performance, and technical proficiency, fostering long-term vendor engagement over transactional procurement cycles. Barnes demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 91.7% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity for small, locally-based contractors and aligns with broader Coast Guard socioeconomic goals. His procurement patterns consistently prioritize small business eligibility, minimizing no-set-aside awards and ensuring equitable access for qualified firms. His primary technical focus lies in NAICS 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors), complemented by significant activity in roofing, glazing, electrical, and plumbing/hvac contracting. These categories underscore his expertise in integrated facility upgrades involving building envelope systems, mechanical infrastructure, and non-structural renovations. Barnes’ work ensures Coast Guard facilities remain safe, efficient, and mission-ready through targeted, code-compliant procurement of specialized construction services.
