Technical Questions: Hayden Heyer

Hayden Heyer serves as the primary point of contact for technical and operational procurement matters at U.S. Coast Guard Base PORTSMOUTH (70Z027), supporting the agency’s mission to sustain mission-critical infrastructure through targeted construction, maintenance, and environmental services. While not holding a formal contracting officer title, Heyer plays a pivotal role in shaping acquisition strategies, defining technical requirements, and coordinating with contracting teams to ensure compliance with federal standards for safety, environmental remediation, and facility modernization. Their work primarily involves managing service-based acquisitions for building systems, security infrastructure, and mechanical installations essential to operational readiness. Heyer maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including A TO B CREATIONS INC, PARLIAMENT LLC, DOORS ON DEMAND, LLC, SANDOW CONSTRUCTION INC, and VISION CONTRACTING INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in facility maintenance, specialty construction, and integrated building systems. The working relationship pattern is collaborative and performance-driven, with an emphasis on repeat engagements based on past performance, technical reliability, and adherence to Coast Guard-specific operational protocols. Heyer’s procurement portfolio reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic set-asides, with approximately one-third of acquisitions designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business participation. The majority of contracts remain open to all competitors, indicating a focus on competitive sourcing while still prioritizing small business opportunities where scope and capability align. The agency’s technical focus centers on three key NAICS categories: 561621 for security systems services, 238290 for other building equipment contractors, and 238220 for plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors. This reflects a specialized procurement profile centered on integrated facility systems, including HVAC, electrical controls, access control, and non-structural building infrastructure—areas critical to sustaining Coast Guard operational facilities under stringent regulatory and environmental standards.
