Ryan Dietrich

Ryan Dietrich serves as a key procurement lead within U.S. Coast Guard Base Boston (70Z024), overseeing the acquisition of critical maintenance, repair, and logistical support services essential to maritime operational readiness. He manages a focused portfolio of contracts centered on vessel and facility sustainment, environmental compliance, and security infrastructure, ensuring that Coast Guard assets remain mission-ready across coastal and port operations. His work directly supports the agency’s mandate to maintain high-performance waterborne systems through timely, compliant, and technically sound contracting actions. Dietrich maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including National Crane Services Inc., Gravitec Systems Inc., Aerofleet Logistics LLC, McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, and JD Tierra Verde LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for niche vendors with proven expertise in marine infrastructure repair, heavy equipment handling, waste management, and facility modernization. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical specificity, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in regulatory compliance and mission alignment. He demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, directing 100% of his procurement activity toward full small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern underscores a strategic emphasis on empowering small, locally rooted firms capable of delivering specialized services in maritime support domains, aligning with broader Department of Homeland Security goals for equitable economic opportunity and workforce development. His procurement focus is exclusively concentrated under NAICS Code 811219—Other Miscellaneous Repair and Maintenance—which encompasses specialized vessel maintenance, facility upkeep, and technical servicing of Coast Guard infrastructure. This specialization reflects deep domain expertise in marine engineering support, environmental remediation, and non-tactical logistical sustainment, positioning him as a technical procurement authority in the niche but vital space of maritime asset lifecycle management.
