Tanya Turner-Fells

Tanya Turner-Fells serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Coast Guard’s Headquarters Contract Operations (CG-912), supporting the agency’s mission to enhance maritime security, operational readiness, and fleet modernization through strategic acquisition of technical and management services. She plays a central role in executing contract actions that enable the Coast Guard’s pursuit of advanced maritime domain awareness systems, coastal patrol capabilities, and vessel sustainment programs. Her portfolio is primarily focused on administrative and general management consulting services, ensuring efficient contract execution, program oversight, and operational alignment across complex acquisition initiatives. Turner-Fells maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including Bollinger Shipyards Lockport, L.L.C., Davie Defense Inc., Rauma Marine Constructions Oy, and Rozema’s Boat Works, Inc., all of which provide critical maritime engineering, shipbuilding, and technical support services. These partnerships reflect a preference for established industry players with proven expertise in naval architecture, vessel modernization, and defense-related systems integration. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical proficiency, and long-term operational compatibility over rapid turnover. Notably, Turner-Fells’ procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on accessing the broadest possible pool of qualified vendors capable of meeting the Coast Guard’s high-performance, mission-critical requirements, rather than prioritizing socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. Her primary focus lies in NAICS 541611—Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services—indicating a strong specialization in contract administration, acquisition planning, program management, and operational logistics support. She procures services that optimize the Coast Guard’s acquisition lifecycle, ensuring compliance, risk mitigation, and efficient resource allocation across its modernization and sustainment portfolios.
