Richard Baynor

Richard Baynor, serving as a MKCS within the U.S. Coast Guard’s LOG-9 organization (70Z084), is a key procurement leader responsible for managing life-cycle support contracts critical to shore-based and maritime operational readiness. He specializes in acquiring facility infrastructure and engineering services that sustain habitable environments, environmental compliance, and mission-critical training infrastructure. His acquisitions focus on ensuring the Coast Guard’s physical and logistical assets remain functional, secure, and aligned with federal standards for safety and sustainability. Baynor routinely handles complex, multi-year contracts requiring technical oversight and compliance with federal acquisition regulations, particularly in construction support and engineering services. Baynor maintains consistent partnerships with a select group of experienced contractors, including GILMAN CORPORATION THE, FRONTLINE ENTERPRISES LLC, ISN ALLIANCE LLC, S3 SOLUTIONS ONE LLC, and FAZTEC INDUSTRIES INC. These vendors are frequently engaged for their proven expertise in facility maintenance, mechanical systems integration, and specialized engineering support. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor reliability, performance-based service delivery, and adherence to quality assurance protocols, fostering collaborative relationships built on accountability and mission alignment. Baynor’s contracting portfolio is fully committed to small business participation, with 100% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate and sustained strategy to prioritize economic opportunity for small, disadvantaged, and service-disabled veteran-owned firms. His pattern of awarding contracts exclusively to small businesses underscores a strong institutional commitment to socioeconomic equity and workforce development within the Coast Guard’s support ecosystem. His primary technical focus lies in NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors) and NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), reflecting deep expertise in HVAC systems, building mechanical infrastructure, and facility engineering design. He procures services ranging from preventive maintenance and system retrofits to integrated environmental controls and mission-critical facility upgrades, ensuring Coast Guard installations meet operational, safety, and energy efficiency standards.
