Shane Barwick

Shane Barwick serves as a key procurement lead within the U.S. Coast Guard’s SFLC Procurement Branch 2 (70Z085), responsible for managing complex acquisitions supporting the sustainment, modernization, and lifecycle management of the Coast Guard’s fleet of cutters and maritime vessels. His work directly enables operational readiness across coastal, offshore, and open-ocean missions by overseeing contracts for ship repair, structural fabrication, and critical infrastructure maintenance. He handles a diverse portfolio of procurement actions under FAR Part 13 and Part 15, with a strong emphasis on competitive bidding, performance-based contracting, and long-term service agreements that ensure vessel availability and mission continuity. Barwick maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized maritime contractors, including ROLLS-ROYCE SOLUTIONS AMERICA INC, VIGOR MARINE LLC, JAG INDUSTRIAL SERVICES, INC, G I INDUSTRIAL-MARINE, LLC, and L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in naval architecture, marine fabrication, and industrial maintenance services. His contracting patterns indicate a reliance on established, technically capable firms with demonstrated experience in Department of Defense and DHS environments, often involving complex technical specifications and compliance with naval standards. A defining feature of Barwick’s procurement approach is his strong commitment to small business participation, with 77.8% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster competition among small, qualified vendors and promote economic opportunity within the maritime industrial base. His office consistently prioritizes socioeconomic programs, ensuring robust involvement from small businesses across multiple categories. His primary NAICS focus areas include 332312 (fabricated structural metal manufacturing) and 424720 (petroleum and petroleum products merchant wholesalers), underscoring expertise in shipyard fabrication and marine logistics support. Additional activity in 561730 (landscaping), 812320 (drycleaning), and 713940 (fitness centers) suggests ancillary support services for Coast Guard facilities, indicating a broad, mission-aligned procurement scope beyond direct vessel sustainment.
