Troy Elliott

Troy Elliott serves as the primary procurement lead for the SFLC Procurement Branch 3 (70Z040) within the U.S. Coast Guard, overseeing the acquisition of critical shipbuilding, repair, and maintenance services essential to sustaining the nation’s maritime fleet. His role is central to ensuring operational readiness by managing full lifecycle procurement activities for cutters, vessels, and associated marine systems. Elliott specializes in complex, long-term contracts under FAR Part 16, with a focus on cost-reimbursement and fixed-price incentive structures tailored to naval engineering and shipyard operations. He works closely with technical stakeholders to align contracting strategies with Coast Guard modernization priorities and vessel sustainment requirements. Elliott maintains consistent, high-volume relationships with a core group of specialized marine contractors, including Philadelphia Electrical Equipment Co., JDCI Enterprises, Inc., ALS Services USA, Corp., Cabras Marine Corporation, and Bay Marine Boatworks, Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in vessel refit, electrical systems integration, hull maintenance, and marine fabrication. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, performance-based contracting, and on-site quality assurance to meet stringent Coast Guard safety and compliance standards. A steadfast advocate for small business participation, Elliott directs 98.5% of his acquisitions toward Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with a minimal but intentional allocation of 1.5% to HUBZone firms. His contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to cultivate a resilient, geographically diverse supplier base, prioritizing firms with maritime industry experience and capacity for complex repair work. This focus ensures broad economic opportunity while maintaining the technical proficiency required for mission-critical maritime operations. Elliott’s procurement portfolio is exclusively focused on NAICS 336611—Ship Building and Repairing—encompassing dry docking, propulsion system overhauls, structural repairs, and integrated marine system upgrades. His domain expertise lies in naval architecture support, corrosion control, and compliance with U.S. Coast Guard and ABS classification standards, ensuring all contracted work meets federal maritime safety and operational endurance benchmarks.
