Tina Frison

Tina M. Frison serves as a Contract Specialist with the SFLC Procurement Branch 2 (70Z085) under the U.S. Coast Guard, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisition strategies to sustain and modernize the nation’s maritime fleet. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle procurement of shipbuilding, repair, and maintenance services critical to operational readiness across coastal and open-ocean missions. Frison manages competitive and sole-source contracts under FAR Part 13 and Part 15, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the Coast Guard’s strategic infrastructure modernization goals. She maintains enduring relationships with key industrial partners including ROLLS-ROYCE SOLUTIONS AMERICA INC, VIGOR MARINE LLC, JAG INDUSTRIAL SERVICES, INC, G I INDUSTRIAL-MARINE, LLC, and L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED. These contractors provide specialized marine engineering, vessel fabrication, propulsion system upgrades, and dry-dock maintenance services. Frison’s contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical validation, and long-term vendor collaboration to ensure mission-critical vessel availability and safety compliance. Frison demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 42.9% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of her portfolio remains open to all competitors, she actively leverages small business capabilities to foster innovation and resilience in the maritime industrial base. Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced emphasis on socioeconomic goals without compromising technical rigor or mission requirements. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), where she procures hull modifications, propulsion system overhauls, and naval-grade electrical and mechanical systems. She also handles niche procurements in motor and generator manufacturing, reflecting the Coast Guard’s need for integrated power solutions aboard cutters. Frison’s expertise centers on complex marine systems procurement, ensuring technical compliance and operational reliability in high-stakes maritime environments.
