Brim 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 procurements for aerospace, maritime, and technical systems, with a focus on search and detection technologies, communications equipment, and mission-critical vessel modernization programs.

Brim maintains enduring relationships with key shipbuilding 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 modernization of patrol vessels and integrated sensor systems. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical evaluation, and performance-based contract management to ensure delivery of high-integrity maritime platforms and systems aligned with Coast Guard operational requirements. Brim’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. This indicates a focus on technical merit, industrial capacity, and mission-critical performance over socioeconomic categorization, consistent with the agency’s need for specialized, high-capability providers in niche maritime domains. His primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 334511 for search and detection systems, 334290 for communications equipment, and 541810 for advertising and public affairs services. This blend underscores his dual expertise in acquiring advanced technical systems for maritime surveillance and the strategic communications infrastructure required to support public engagement and operational transparency for Coast Guard missions.
