Tom Landry

Thomas P. Landry serves as a Contracting Officer at the U.S. Coast Guard Base Los Angeles/Long Beach (70Z037), where he manages the acquisition lifecycle for critical infrastructure and operational support contracts essential to maritime homeland security. His portfolio centers on facility modernization, shipyard maintenance, and security systems integration, ensuring the base maintains operational readiness across Southern California’s high-demand maritime environment. Landry executes full-spectrum contracting actions under FAR and DFARS, from solicitation through award and administration, with a strong emphasis on mission-critical procurement that supports vessel reliability, utility resilience, and environmental compliance. Landry cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse range of vendors, particularly those specializing in ship repair, facility construction, and systems integration. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages qualified small businesses and experienced subcontractors capable of delivering complex, technical services under tight operational timelines. His contracting approach prioritizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluations, and contractor accountability to ensure compliance with Coast Guard standards for safety and security. A staunch advocate for small business participation, Landry directs 87.5% of his acquisitions toward total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deep commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. He frequently awards contracts to small disadvantaged businesses, women-owned small businesses, and other certified small entities, fostering regional economic development while maintaining high standards of mission support. His pattern of set-aside usage demonstrates strategic alignment with DHS and Coast Guard priorities to expand vendor diversity and build long-term capacity among local contractors. Landry’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), with significant activity in 238320 (Painting and Wall Covering), 238330 (Flooring), 237310 (Highway/Street/Bridge Construction), and 337122 (Nonupholstered Wood Furniture Manufacturing). This blend reflects the base’s need for integrated facility sustainment, from structural repairs and environmental upgrades to functional interior fit-outs. His expertise spans both heavy industrial and light construction domains, making him a key steward of the base’s physical and operational infrastructure.
