Sylvia C Goggin

Sylvia C. Goggin serves as a SK1 Purchasing Agent at Base Alameda (70Z031), a critical U.S. Coast Guard facility under the Department of Homeland Security. In this role, she manages the acquisition of goods and services essential to sustaining and modernizing maritime infrastructure, including facility maintenance, environmental compliance, and operational readiness initiatives. Her procurement portfolio primarily supports mission-critical infrastructure across the Pacific region, focusing on specialty trade contractors, environmental services, and industrial equipment maintenance. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning acquisitions with the agency’s strategic priorities of resilience, safety, and sustainability. Goggin cultivates strong partnerships with a diverse base of vendors, particularly those specializing in commercial and industrial repair, landscaping, flooring, and HVAC systems. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with small and mid-sized firms capable of delivering timely, high-quality services under tight operational timelines. Her working relationships emphasize responsiveness, regulatory compliance, and performance reliability, fostering long-term vendor collaboration to support mission continuity. A strong advocate for socioeconomic contracting, Goggin prioritizes small business participation, with 75% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She actively leverages small business programs to promote economic opportunity and enhance competition, ensuring equitable access for qualified firms without preference for specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to broaden vendor participation while maintaining fiscal responsibility. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors), 238330 (Flooring Contractors), 561730 (Landscaping Services), 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair), and 333415 (HVAC and Refrigeration Equipment Manufacturing). She specializes in acquiring facility maintenance, environmental services, and mechanical systems upgrades, demonstrating deep expertise in infrastructure lifecycle support for federal maritime operations.
