Pamela Bagley

Pamela Bagley serves as a key procurement lead within the U.S. Coast Guard’s Headquarters Contract Operations (CG-912), overseeing strategic acquisitions critical to national maritime security and operational readiness. She manages complex contracts for aerospace, maritime, and technical systems that enhance coastal patrol capabilities, maritime domain awareness, and vessel modernization programs. Her portfolio centers on the acquisition of specialized navigation, detection, and surveillance systems, as well as engineered components for Coast Guard vessel fleets. Bagley ensures alignment with DHS and Coast Guard modernization priorities, applying rigorous acquisition methodologies to deliver mission-critical capabilities while maintaining compliance with federal contracting regulations. Her primary contractor relationships are with leading maritime and defense industrial base 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, systems integration, and custom marine hardware procurement. Bagley cultivates long-term, performance-based vendor relationships characterized by technical collaboration and lifecycle support, ensuring sustained operational effectiveness of Coast Guard assets through new construction, retrofitting, and maintenance contracts. Bagley’s contracting activity shows a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside conditions. This reflects a strategic emphasis on maximizing technical capability and industrial base capacity rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her approach ensures competitive fairness and access for all qualified vendors capable of meeting stringent maritime system requirements. Her procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 334511, encompassing the acquisition of advanced search, detection, navigation, and nautical instrumentation systems, alongside NAICS 326199 for specialized plastics components used in marine environments. This technical specialization underscores her expertise in procuring high-reliability, environmentally hardened systems essential for Coast Guard missions across diverse maritime domains.
