Richard Moroge

Richard Moroge serves as a key procurement lead within the U.S. Coast Guard’s SFLC Procurement Branch 3 (70Z040), overseeing the acquisition of shipbuilding, repair, and maintenance services critical to sustaining the Coast Guard’s maritime fleet. His responsibilities include managing full lifecycle contracts for cutters and vessel systems, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with operational readiness goals. He specializes in complex, mission-critical acquisitions that support vessel modernization, structural repairs, and integrated marine systems, working closely with engineering and logistics teams to define technical requirements and performance standards. Moroge maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized marine contractors, including Philadelphia Electrical Equipment Co., JDCI Enterprises, Inc., ALS Services USA, Corp., Cabras Marine Corporation, and Bay Marine Boatworks, Inc. These partnerships reflect a focus on vendors with proven expertise in naval architecture, marine electrical systems, and dry-dock repair capabilities. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical reliability, and performance-based outcomes, often resulting in repeat engagements with firms that demonstrate consistent quality and compliance with Coast Guard maritime standards. Moroge’s procurement portfolio is entirely set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, reflecting a firm commitment to socioeconomic contracting and small business development. All awards are structured to maximize participation by small business concerns, ensuring that Coast Guard vessel sustainment efforts directly support domestic maritime industrial capacity. This 100% small business set-aside pattern underscores a strategic emphasis on building resilient, community-based supplier networks capable of meeting the Coast Guard’s unique operational demands. His primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 336611—Ship Building and Repairing—where he procures services ranging from hull fabrication and propulsion system overhauls to electrical and navigation system upgrades. His technical domain expertise centers on commercial marine standards, Coast Guard-specific regulatory compliance, and the integration of modernized systems into aging vessel platforms, ensuring fleet longevity and mission readiness.
