Stephanie Garnett

Stephanie M. Garnett serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Coast Guard facility operating under agency code 70Z086, supporting the Department of Homeland Security’s mission to sustain and modernize critical maritime and remote infrastructure across the Pacific region. She manages a diverse portfolio of construction, engineering, and environmental remediation acquisitions, ensuring that coastal facilities, airfield support structures, and utility systems remain operationally ready. Her work directly enables mission-critical readiness by procuring services and materials that enhance maritime domain awareness and resilience in austere environments. Garnett collaborates with a broad spectrum of contractors, including specialized civil engineering firms, environmental remediation vendors, and fabricated metal manufacturers, often engaging firms with proven expertise in remote-site construction and marine infrastructure. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established technical partners with experience in Pacific-region logistics and harsh environmental conditions, fostering long-term vendor relationships built on compliance, performance, and adaptability to unique operational demands. Her procurement strategy demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over one-third of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and a notable 11.1% allocated to HUBZone contractors. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of socioeconomic set-asides reflects a deliberate effort to broaden participation from underserved communities and promote economic development in underserved regions. Garnett’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) and 562910 (Remediation Services), with significant activity in plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning systems (238220) and fabricated structural metal manufacturing (332312). She routinely procures turnkey construction, environmental cleanup, and engineered infrastructure solutions tailored to the unique challenges of island and coastal operations, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with maritime construction standards and federal facility sustainment protocols.
