Tony Leingang

Tony Leingang serves as a key procurement lead within the U.S. Coast Guard’s Headquarters Contract Operations (CG-912), overseeing strategic acquisitions critical to national maritime security and operational readiness. He manages a portfolio of contracts focused on the design, construction, and modernization of specialized vessels, aerospace systems, and maritime domain awareness technologies. His work directly supports the Coast Guard’s mission to enhance coastal patrol capabilities, sustain specialized fleet assets, and deploy advanced search and detection platforms. Leingang’s procurement activities are aligned with long-term force modernization goals, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical capabilities through compliant, performance-based contracting methods. He maintains enduring relationships with a core group of shipbuilders and maritime systems integrators, including Bollinger Shipyards, Davie Defense Inc., Rauma Marine Constructions Oy, and Rozema’s Boat Works, Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, niche vendors with proven expertise in constructing patrol vessels, response boats, and customized maritime platforms. Leingang’s contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical validation, and lifecycle support, fostering trust through consistent engagement and clear performance expectations. Leingang demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, with 100% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to empower small, capable maritime contractors and ensure equitable access to federal procurement opportunities. His portfolio consistently awards contracts to small businesses with specialized shipbuilding, marine systems, or technical service capabilities, reinforcing the Coast Guard’s socioeconomic goals and strengthening the domestic maritime industrial base. While NAICS data is not available, his acquisitions center on vessel construction, maritime system integration, and advanced sensor deployment—domains requiring precision engineering, naval architecture, and compliance with Coast Guard-specific operational standards. His technical expertise lies in procuring custom-built platforms and integrated systems that meet rigorous maritime safety and endurance requirements.
