Shayani Mukherjee serves as a Contracting Officer within the Headquarters Contract Operations (CG-912) unit of the U.S. Coast Guard, part of the Department of Homeland Security. In this role, she leads the acquisition of specialized maritime and technical services critical to national security, operational readiness, and fleet modernization. Her portfolio centers on strategic procurement of vessel construction, maintenance, and maritime domain awareness systems, with a strong emphasis on enhancing coastal and riverine patrol capabilities. She manages full lifecycle contracting actions—from market research and solicitation to award and administration—ensuring alignment with Coast Guard mission priorities and federal acquisition regulations. Ms. Mukherjee maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of shipyard and maritime service providers, including Bollinger Shipyards Lockport, L.L.C., Davie Defense Inc., Rauma Marine Constructions Oy, and Rozema’s Boat Works, Inc. These partnerships reflect a focus on medium- to large-scale shipbuilding and specialized vessel modernization, often involving complex technical specifications and long-term sustainment requirements. Her contracting approach emphasizes collaboration with vendors possessing proven expertise in naval architecture, marine systems integration, and defense-grade fabrication. She exhibits a robust and exclusive commitment to small business participation, directing 100% of her acquisitions toward Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate a resilient small business industrial base capable of supporting Coast Guard operational needs. Her contracting patterns consistently prioritize economically disadvantaged and veteran-owned firms, reinforcing the agency’s socioeconomic goals. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 611430—Professional and Management Development Training—indicating a strong emphasis on workforce development, technical certification, and operational readiness training for Coast Guard personnel and contractor teams. This specialization underscores her role in building institutional capacity through education and skill enhancement programs aligned with maritime security standards.
