Shayani Mukherjee

Shayani Mukherjee serves as a key procurement lead within the U.S. Coast Guard’s Headquarters Contract Operations (CG-912), supporting the strategic acquisition of maritime and aerospace systems critical to national security and operational readiness. Responsible for managing complex contracting actions across vessel modernization, maritime domain awareness platforms, and specialized technical services, Mukherjee ensures alignment with the Coast Guard’s mission to enhance coastal patrol capabilities, sustain specialized vessel fleets, and advance search and detection technologies. Her work directly enables the acquisition of mission-critical assets through full and open competition, ensuring timely delivery of high-priority capabilities to operational units. Mukherjee maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of shipyards and maritime defense contractors, including Bollinger Shipyards Lockport, L.L.C., Davie Defense Inc., Rauma Marine Constructions Oy, and Rozema’s Boat Works, Inc. These partnerships are centered on the design, construction, and modernization of patrol vessels, response craft, and integrated sensor platforms. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical compliance, and performance-based contract management, fostering reliable delivery of complex maritime systems under stringent operational requirements. Mukherjee’s contracting activity reflects a strict preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This underscores a deliberate focus on selecting the most technically capable and cost-effective providers regardless of socioeconomic status, prioritizing mission performance over programmatic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, all procurements adhere to federal acquisition regulations and ensure fair opportunity for all qualified vendors. Her primary procurement focus is aligned with NAICS 611699, which, despite its classification as “All Other Miscellaneous Schools and Instruction,” appears to be a misclassification or administrative placeholder in this context. In practice, her acquisitions center on maritime engineering, vessel construction, and advanced sensor integration—domains requiring deep technical expertise in naval architecture, systems integration, and defense logistics. Her work demonstrates specialized knowledge in procuring high-performance maritime platforms and associated support services critical to Coast Guard readiness.
