Shannon G. Humphrey

Shannon G. Humphrey serves as a Store Keeper within the C5I Division 1 Alexandria under the U.S. Coast Guard and Department of Homeland Security, responsible for the receipt, storage, inventory control, and distribution of mission-critical technical assets supporting command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence systems. In this role, Humphrey ensures the operational readiness of enterprise IT infrastructure by managing the lifecycle of procurement-derived equipment, from receipt through issue to field units. While not a contracting officer, Humphrey plays a vital support function in the acquisition lifecycle by validating technical specifications, verifying delivery compliance, and facilitating logistics coordination between vendors and technical teams, ensuring that procured goods align with C5I mission requirements for maritime domain awareness and secure communications. Humphrey collaborates closely with logistics and supply chain personnel to interface with contractors delivering hardware, software, and telecommunications components. Though no specific vendor relationships are publicly documented, the nature of the role necessitates consistent engagement with vendors providing secure IT hardware, satellite-enabled communication devices, and enterprise software solutions. Working relationships are characterized by precision in documentation, adherence to federal supply standards, and timely reconciliation of delivery against contract line items. Humphrey’s procurement environment reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 91.7% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides, indicating a focus on technical merit and mission urgency. However, a consistent 8.3% of acquisitions are structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured commitment to small business participation in support of the agency’s resilience goals. The primary NAICS codes associated with Humphrey’s operational domain include 511210 (Software Publishers) and 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), reflecting a focus on secure software platforms and integrated IT services. Additional procurement activity centers on 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing) and 519190 (Other Information Services), underscoring expertise in procuring maritime-specific C5I hardware and data infrastructure essential to Coast Guard operational readiness.
