Sherry C. Dague serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Coast Guard’s Ceu MIAMI (00082), supporting the agency’s mission to sustain and modernize critical maritime infrastructure. She manages a diverse portfolio of civil engineering and construction contracts focused on coastal facility rehabilitation, navigational aid maintenance, and resilient infrastructure development. Her work directly enables operational readiness for search and rescue, homeland security, and aids-to-navigation missions, ensuring that aging assets at remote stations meet current safety and performance standards. Dague typically handles complex, multi-year acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, often involving design-build, construction-manager-at-risk, and performance-based service contracts. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly detailed, her procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with heavy civil engineering firms, specialty trade contractors, and small business vendors capable of delivering mission-critical infrastructure solutions in challenging coastal environments. Her working relationships emphasize technical competency, regulatory compliance, and the ability to execute in remote or environmentally sensitive locations, fostering long-term partnerships with firms experienced in federal maritime construction. Dague demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with HUBZone set-asides accounting for 35.6% of her awards and total small business set-asides representing 16.7%. She also regularly utilizes Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, reflecting a deliberate strategy to promote veteran entrepreneurship and community-based economic development. Her contracting approach aligns with federal mandates to maximize small business participation while ensuring mission-critical delivery. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), followed by industrial, commercial, and institutional building construction, as well as specialty trades including plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning systems. She routinely procures services related to structural reinforcement, dredging support, utility modernization, and resilient design for coastal installations, demonstrating deep expertise in federal civil engineering procurement and infrastructure lifecycle management.
