Tony Anakor serves as a Contract Specialist within the U.S. Coast Guard’s Headquarters Contract Operations (CG-912), where he plays a pivotal role in executing strategic acquisitions that support national maritime security and operational readiness. He manages the full lifecycle of complex contracts for aerospace, maritime, and technical services, with a primary focus on engineering services and testing laboratory support. His work directly enables the modernization of coastal patrol vessels, enhancement of maritime domain awareness systems, and sustainment of specialized fleet capabilities. Anakor ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the Coast Guard’s mission-critical priorities in search and detection, vessel modernization, and technical innovation. Anakor maintains longstanding relationships with key shipyard and defense contractors including Bollinger Shipyards Lockport, L.L.C., Davie Defense Inc., Rauma Marine Constructions Oy, and Rozema’s Boat Works, Inc. These partnerships are centered on the design, construction, and maintenance of high-performance maritime platforms and associated technical systems. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical rigor, and long-term sustainment, fostering collaborative relationships with vendors who demonstrate proven expertise in naval architecture, systems integration, and maritime engineering. Anakor’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. While he does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his focus remains on securing technically superior solutions from qualified industry partners, prioritizing capability and mission alignment over socioeconomic categorization. His primary procurement activity centers on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), accounting for 75% of his portfolio, and NAICS 541380 (Testing Laboratories and Services), comprising the remaining 25%. He routinely acquires advanced engineering design, systems testing, certification, and performance validation services critical to the development and fielding of next-generation maritime platforms and sensor systems.
