Tarcy Thompson serves as a Contract Specialist within the U.S. Coast Guard’s Headquarters Contract Operations (CG-912), where she plays a pivotal role in executing strategic acquisitions that support national maritime security and force modernization. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts for specialized maritime, aerospace, and technical services, with a focus on vessel modernization, search and detection systems, and maritime domain awareness technologies.

These partnerships reflect a consistent focus on vessel construction, repair, and conversion services tailored to Coast Guard operational requirements. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical alignment, and performance-based acquisition strategies to ensure delivery of high-integrity maritime platforms and support systems. A dedicated advocate for small business participation, Thompson consistently structures procurements under the Total Small Business Set-Aside authority (FAR 19.5), with over 57% of her awards reserved for small businesses.
