Wendy M. Stevenson serves as a Contracting Officer within the U.S. Coast Guard’s Headquarters Contract Operations (CG-912), where she plays a pivotal role in executing strategic acquisitions to support national maritime security and operational readiness. She manages complex contracts for aerospace, maritime, and technical services, with a focus on vessel modernization, search and detection systems, and maritime domain awareness technologies. Her portfolio encompasses new construction, sustainment, and upgrade programs critical to sustaining the Coast Guard’s coastal and riverine fleet, ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical readiness goals. Stevenson maintains longstanding relationships with key shipyard and maritime technology contractors, including Bollinger Shipyards Lockport, L.L.C., Davie Defense Inc., Rauma Marine Constructions Oy, and Rozema’s Boat Works, Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for specialized shipbuilders and defense contractors with proven expertise in naval vessel design, fabrication, and integration of advanced maritime systems. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical compliance, performance-based outcomes, and long-term sustainment planning, fostering collaborative vendor relationships grounded in reliability and mission alignment. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong emphasis on open competition, with 75.4% of awards issued without set-asides. Nevertheless, she actively supports small business participation, with 21.7% of contracts awarded under Total Small Business Set-Asides and modest allocations to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned and HUBZone small businesses, demonstrating a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals without compromising mission needs. Her primary NAICS focus areas include professional and management development training, technical and trade schools, computing infrastructure services, and hotel/motel operations—reflecting a broad support base for workforce development, IT modernization, and logistical infrastructure essential to Coast Guard operations. Her expertise lies in procuring services that enable operational efficiency, training readiness, and digital transformation across the service’s shore-based and deployed units.
