Patrick A. Anderson

Patrick Anderson supports the U.S. Coast Guard’s Hq Contract Operations (CG-912) unit in executing strategic acquisition initiatives critical to national maritime security and operational readiness. He manages a portfolio of complex contracts focused on shipbuilding, vessel modernization, and specialized maritime systems, ensuring alignment with the Coast Guard’s mission to sustain and enhance coastal patrol, search and detection, and maritime domain awareness capabilities. His work directly enables the procurement of mission-critical platforms and technical systems that support fleet readiness and force modernization across riverine and open-ocean environments. Anderson maintains consistent, long-term partnerships with key shipbuilders and maritime contractors, including Bollinger Shipyards Lockport, L.L.C., Davie Defense Inc., Rauma Marine Constructions Oy, and Rozema’s Boat Works, Inc. These relationships reflect a preference for experienced industrial partners capable of delivering high-integrity, Coast Guard-specification vessels and integrated systems. His contracting approach emphasizes technical compliance, lifecycle sustainment, and performance-based requirements, fostering collaboration with vendors who understand the unique operational demands of maritime law enforcement and search and rescue missions. A defining feature of Anderson’s procurement strategy is an overwhelming commitment to small business participation, with 88.7% of contracts set aside for total small business eligibility under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate effort to cultivate a resilient industrial base by prioritizing small, capable firms in ship repair, marine systems integration, and niche component manufacturing. His contracting patterns consistently favor socioeconomic programs that expand access for small businesses in the maritime defense sector. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), accounting for 93.8% of activity, with supplementary efforts in maritime sensors, navigation systems, and specialized interior components. This deep specialization in naval architecture and marine systems underscores his technical expertise in procuring vessels and equipment designed for harsh maritime environments, ensuring mission-critical performance and durability.
