Scott A. Garcia

Scott A. Garcia, as a Military Sealift Command Specialist (MSTCS) at U.S. Coast Guard Base Boston (70Z024), plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurement for maritime infrastructure sustainment and operational support. He manages the acquisition of specialized equipment and services essential to vessel maintenance, facility modernization, and environmental compliance, ensuring the readiness of Coast Guard assets across coastal and port security missions. His contracting portfolio is narrowly focused on high-precision industrial manufacturing and site-specific support systems, aligning with the Base’s mandate to maintain mission-critical maritime infrastructure through timely, compliant, and technically rigorous procurement actions. Garcia maintains consistent partnerships with a select group of specialized vendors, including National Crane Services Inc., Gravitec Systems Inc., Aerofleet Logistics LLC, McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, and JD Tierra Verde LLC. These contractors are selected for their technical expertise in crane operations, engineered structural systems, logistics support, and site development tailored to federal maritime facilities. His working relationships reflect a preference for established, niche-capable vendors with proven performance in delivering complex, code-compliant solutions under stringent Coast Guard operational standards. Garcia’s procurement strategy is fully aligned with small business socioeconomic goals, as all acquisitions under his purview are set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5. This 100% small business set-aside policy underscores a deliberate and sustained commitment to fostering contractor diversity and enhancing local economic resilience through federal contracting. His approach ensures that small, qualified firms with specialized capabilities are prioritized in competitive solicitations, reinforcing the Coast Guard’s broader mission to empower small business participation in national security support. His primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 337215—Showcase, Partition, Shelving, and Locker Manufacturing—reflecting a technical specialization in custom-built, high-durability storage and organizational systems for Coast Guard vessels and shore facilities. These acquisitions support secure stowage, inventory control, and regulatory compliance in austere maritime environments, demonstrating his deep domain expertise in industrial cabinetry and facility-specific hardware tailored to Coast Guard operational needs.
