Tyler Hames

Tyler Hames supports the U.S. Coast Guard Base Seattle (70Z033) in executing mission-critical procurement activities focused on facility infrastructure and operational readiness. Though not formally titled, Hames plays a central role in managing acquisition workflows for building systems, utilities, and site services essential to sustaining Coast Guard maritime operations. Their responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for specialized maintenance and construction services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-driven timelines. Hames routinely handles complex, performance-based acquisitions requiring technical oversight of mechanical, electrical, and environmental systems critical to base resilience. Hames maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including VCLOUD GOV INC., ASTRALLIC INC., M.B.A. ADHC LLC, VICTORY CONTRACTING LLC, and JOHN’S WATERPROOFING CO. These vendors are regularly engaged for specialized facility repairs, system upgrades, and environmental compliance services. The procurement pattern reflects a preference for established, technically proficient firms with proven track records in maritime infrastructure support, indicating a reliance on repeat performance and subject-matter expertise over open competition. Hames’ contracting activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical capability and operational urgency over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the base’s need for rapid, reliable service delivery in high-priority infrastructure zones. The agency’s procurement is exclusively focused on NAICS 334310—Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing—indicating a specialized need for mission-critical communication, surveillance, and control systems integrated into Coast Guard facilities. This unusual concentration suggests Hames manages acquisitions for specialized audiovisual infrastructure, including secure command and control interfaces, surveillance monitoring systems, and integrated communication networks essential to maritime domain awareness and operational coordination.
