Steven H. Metcalfe serves as a Contract Specialist (H60J) at the U.S. Coast Guard’s Aviation Logistics Center, where he plays a pivotal role in securing mission-critical aviation sustainment capabilities. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions, Metcalfe ensures the timely acquisition of parts, components, and technical services essential to maintaining the Coast Guard’s rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft fleet, including legacy platforms such as the MH-65E Dauphin and HC-144 Ocean Sentry. His acquisitions primarily support avionics modernization, maintenance support, and system integration efforts, aligning directly with the ALC’s mission to sustain operational readiness through reliable supply chain management and technical sustainment. Metcalfe maintains consistent contracting relationships with leading aerospace and defense contractors including ROCKWELL COLLINS, INC., AIRBUS US SPACE & DEFENSE INC, and AVIATRIX INC, as well as specialized logistics providers like GOLDBELT INTEGRATED LOGISTICS SERVICES, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established industry players with proven expertise in military aviation systems, avionics integration, and complex maintenance support. His contracting approach emphasizes technical compliance, performance-based outcomes, and long-term sustainment partnerships to ensure mission continuity across aging platforms. His procurement portfolio demonstrates a strong orientation toward open competition, with 87.8% of awards issued without set-asides, reflecting a focus on technical capability and industrial base reliability over socioeconomic preferences.
