Tracy Crump

Tracy Crump serves as a Contracting Specialist within the SFLC Procurement Branch 1 (70Z080) of the U.S. Coast Guard, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisitions to sustain and modernize the nation’s maritime fleet. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle management of ship repair, maintenance, and vessel modernization contracts, ensuring operational readiness across coastal and open-ocean missions. Crump specializes in negotiating and administering technical service contracts under the NAICS 811219 classification, focusing on marine repair and maintenance services critical to extending the service life of Coast Guard cutters and auxiliary vessels. She works closely with engineering and logistics teams to align procurement strategy with mission-critical readiness goals. Crump maintains longstanding relationships with a select group of qualified shipyard and marine services contractors, including Fairbanks Morse, LLC, Bay Ship & Yacht Co, Thoma-Sea Marine Constructors, L.L.C., Automatic Coating Limited USA, and Technico Corporation. These partnerships are built on proven technical expertise in propulsion system overhauls, dry dock capabilities, corrosion control, and hull integrity restoration. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, strict compliance with naval specifications, and rigorous contractor performance evaluations to ensure mission-critical standards are met. Crump’s procurement portfolio reflects a consistent preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued without set-aside designations. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her contracting decisions prioritize technical capability, past performance, and capacity to deliver complex marine maintenance services under stringent federal standards. Her primary technical focus is NAICS 811219—Marine Repair and Maintenance—where she procures specialized services including dry docking, engine overhauls, electrical system upgrades, and protective coating applications. Crump’s expertise lies in managing high-stakes, technically intricate contracts that demand deep industry knowledge of naval architecture, marine engineering, and Coast Guard-specific vessel requirements.
