Patricia S Holliday

Patricia S. Holliday serves as a Contracting Officer within the U.S. Coast Guard’s Headquarters Contract Operations (CG-912), where she leads the acquisition of critical maritime and aerospace support services essential to national security and operational readiness. Her portfolio focuses on procuring specialized vessel construction, modernization, and technical systems that enhance coastal patrol, search and detection, and maritime domain awareness capabilities. She manages full lifecycle contracting actions—from solicitation and source selection to contract administration—ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and the Coast Guard’s strategic modernization goals. Holliday plays a pivotal role in delivering mission-critical capabilities through complex, high-stakes procurement actions that support the service’s fleet sustainability and technological advancement. Her primary contractor relationships are with specialized shipyards and maritime defense firms, including Bollinger Shipyards Lockport, L.L.C., Davie Defense Inc., Rauma Marine Constructions Oy, and Rozema’s Boat Works, Inc. These partnerships reflect a consistent reliance on experienced, niche vendors with proven expertise in naval architecture, vessel fabrication, and Coast Guard-specific operational requirements. Holliday cultivates long-term, performance-driven relationships with these prime contractors, often engaging them in multi-year, incrementally funded programs that require technical precision and regulatory compliance. Holliday’s contracting activity shows a 100% preference for non-set-aside procurements, indicating a strategic focus on full and open competition to ensure access to the broadest possible pool of qualified maritime industry capabilities. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through socioeconomic set-asides, her approach emphasizes technical merit, past performance, and industrial capacity over socioeconomic categorization. Her primary NAICS code focus is 713940 (Fitness and Recreational Sports Centers), which appears to reflect a data anomaly or misclassification in the system, as this code is inconsistent with the Coast Guard’s mission profile. Given the agency’s operational context, her actual procurement activity centers on shipbuilding (NAICS 336611), defense contracting (NAICS 336612), and technical services for maritime systems—domains requiring deep engineering and regulatory expertise in naval procurement.
