Thomas Winters serves as the CCTV Restoration Lead for U.S. Coast Guard Base Los Angeles/Long Beach (70Z037), where he manages procurement initiatives critical to enhancing facility security and operational resilience. His role centers on restoring, upgrading, and integrating closed-circuit television systems across base infrastructure to support maritime homeland security missions. Winters oversees the acquisition of surveillance hardware, video management software, and associated network infrastructure, ensuring compliance with federal cybersecurity and physical security standards. He plays a pivotal role in aligning procurement activities with the Coast Guard’s broader mission of maintaining secure, modernized facilities capable of supporting 24/7 operational readiness. Winters collaborates with a network of specialized vendors providing security systems integration services and electrical infrastructure components. While specific contractor names are not publicly listed, his procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with firms possessing expertise in commercial-grade CCTV deployment, IP-based surveillance networks, and facility-wide video analytics. His working relationships emphasize technical proficiency, rapid response capabilities, and adherence to Department of Defense security protocols, fostering partnerships with vendors who can deliver scalable, tamper-resistant solutions in high-risk maritime environments. Winters maintains a 100% Small Business Set-Aside preference under FAR 19.5, reflecting a strong institutional commitment to socioeconomic contracting. All CCTV restoration acquisitions are reserved exclusively for small businesses, including those certified as 8(a), HUBZone, or Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs), ensuring equitable access to federal opportunities while cultivating a robust local supplier base.
