Sean Hoy

Sean Hoy serves as a secondary procurement contact within the U.S. Coast Guard’s SFLC Procurement Branch 1 (70Z080), supporting the agency’s mission to sustain and modernize its fleet of cutters and maritime assets. He plays a critical role in facilitating acquisitions related to shipbuilding, repair, and vessel maintenance, ensuring operational readiness for coastal and open-ocean missions. His responsibilities include coordinating contract actions for complex naval engineering projects, overseeing technical specifications for propulsion and hull systems, and ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations. Hoy primarily supports large-scale, mission-critical procurements involving dry dock overhauls, structural repairs, and integrated system upgrades for Coast Guard vessels. Hoy maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized maritime contractors, including Fairbanks Morse, LLC, Bay Ship & Yacht Co, and Thoma-Sea Marine Constructors, L.L.C., all of whom possess deep expertise in naval vessel construction and repair. He also collaborates regularly with Automatic Coating Limited USA and Technico Corporation for specialized marine coatings and industrial instrumentation services. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven experience in military-grade shipyard environments and Navy/Coast Guard compliance standards, indicating a focus on long-term, performance-based vendor relationships rather than transactional sourcing. Hoy’s procurement portfolio demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 75% of contracts set aside for total small business under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate capacity among qualified small firms in the maritime industrial base, particularly those capable of delivering ship repair, marine systems integration, and specialized manufacturing services. While no set-asides are designated for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs specifically, the consistent use of small business set-asides ensures broad socioeconomic inclusion across the supply chain. His primary technical focus lies in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), accounting for three-quarters of his acquisitions, with additional activity in industrial machinery, process instrumentation, and electrical wholesale distribution. He procures high-integrity components for vessel systems—including propulsion controls, corrosion-resistant coatings, and marine-grade electrical apparatus—demanding rigorous adherence to military and maritime engineering standards.
