Tiffany M. Squyres

Tiffany M. Squyres serves as a Contract Specialist within the SFLC Procurement Branch 3 (00040) of the U.S. Coast Guard, where she plays a critical role in executing acquisitions that sustain and modernize the Coast Guard’s maritime fleet. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contracting activities for shipbuilding, vessel repair, and operational infrastructure support, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical readiness objectives. She primarily manages complex procurement actions under NAICS 336611, focusing on the maintenance, overhaul, and modernization of cutters and waterborne systems essential to national maritime security. Squyres maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized vendors, including Philadelphia Electrical Equipment Co., JDCI Enterprises, Inc., ALS Services USA, Corp., Cabras Marine Corporation, and Bay Marine Boatworks, Inc. These partnerships reflect a reliance on niche maritime contractors with proven expertise in marine electrical systems, vessel refit, and shipyard services. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical evaluation, and performance-based contract management to ensure operational reliability and regulatory compliance. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a balanced commitment to small business participation, with nearly 41% of awards directed toward small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and HUBZone programs. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to full and open competition, she actively prioritizes socioeconomic programs to foster capability development among qualified small and disadvantaged firms in the maritime support sector. Squyres’ technical domain centers on shipbuilding and repair (NAICS 336611), with secondary focus on water transportation support services and related industrial fabrication. She routinely procures specialized marine systems, structural repairs, propulsion upgrades, and vessel maintenance services, requiring deep familiarity with Coast Guard engineering standards and naval architecture requirements. Her expertise ensures acquisitions align with the Coast Guard’s strategic imperative to maintain a resilient, modern, and mission-ready fleet.
