Saprina Shomari

Saprina Shomari serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Coast Guard’s Headquarters Contract Operations (CG-912), where she leads the strategic acquisition of specialized management consulting services critical to operational readiness and force modernization. Her role centers on executing full and open 8(a) competed contracts to support the Coast Guard’s mission in maritime security, vessel sustainment, and domain awareness systems. She manages the end-to-end contracting lifecycle for high-priority advisory services that inform acquisition strategy, program management, and systems integration across aerospace and maritime platforms, ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and national defense priorities. Shomari maintains consistent working relationships with a focused group of prime contractors, including Bollinger Shipyards Lockport, L.L.C., Davie Defense Inc., Rauma Marine Constructions Oy, and Rozema’s Boat Works, Inc., all of which provide niche expertise in vessel design, modernization, and technical support services. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in proven performance, technical capability, and compliance with Coast Guard-specific operational requirements. These contractors are frequently engaged for complex, mission-critical consulting engagements that bridge engineering, logistics, and program management domains. A defining feature of Shomari’s contracting portfolio is her exclusive reliance on 8(a) competed set-asides, reflecting a deep institutional commitment to socioeconomic equity and small business development. Every acquisition she manages is structured to maximize participation by certified 8(a) firms, ensuring that disadvantaged businesses have meaningful access to high-value, mission-critical contracts within the defense acquisition ecosystem. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541611—Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services—where she secures expert advisory support for program planning, acquisition restructuring, and systems integration initiatives. These services underpin the Coast Guard’s efforts to modernize its fleet and enhance maritime domain awareness, making her work essential to sustaining operational effectiveness through strategic, consultant-led transformation.
