Stacy Seay

Stacy Seay serves as a Contract Specialist within the SFLC Procurement Branch 3 (00040) of the U.S. Coast Guard, where she plays a critical role in executing acquisition strategies that sustain and modernize the Coast Guard’s maritime fleet and operational infrastructure. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions, she specializes in ship repair, maintenance, and vessel system integration contracts, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical readiness standards. Her work directly supports the Coast Guard’s operational endurance by facilitating timely access to essential marine hardware, components, and technical services. Seay maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized vendors, including PHILADELPHIA ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT CO, JDCI ENTERPRISES, INC., ALS SERVICES USA, CORP., CABRAS MARINE CORPORATION, and BAY MARINE BOATWORKS, INC. These contractors provide critical marine electrical systems, structural repairs, maintenance services, and vessel fabrication, reflecting a preference for niche, technically proficient vendors with proven expertise in maritime environments. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance reliability and regulatory compliance. A staunch advocate for small business participation, Seay exclusively utilizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, ensuring all acquisitions are reserved for small businesses without further socioeconomic subcategories. This consistent pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to cultivate a robust small business base capable of supporting Coast Guard maritime missions. Her procurement model prioritizes capacity building among qualified small firms with relevant marine and industrial capabilities. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 337910 (Mattress Manufacturing) and 423510 (Metal Service Centers and Other Metal Merchant Wholesalers), reflecting a unique alignment with specialized marine components such as custom-fabricated metal parts, corrosion-resistant materials, and onboard life-support systems. This technical domain requires deep familiarity with marine-grade materials, naval architecture standards, and supply chain logistics for austere operational environments.
