William N. Gasperetti

William N. Gasperetti serves as a key procurement lead within the U.S. Coast Guard’s Headquarters Contract Operations (CG-912), where he oversees strategic acquisitions critical to national maritime security and operational readiness. His responsibilities center on the acquisition of specialized aerospace, maritime, and technical systems that enhance coastal patrol capabilities, maritime domain awareness, and vessel modernization programs. Gasperetti manages complex contract vehicles for high-integrity systems, including sensor integration, surveillance platforms, and vessel construction support, ensuring alignment with Coast Guard force structure priorities and lifecycle sustainment goals. He maintains long-standing relationships with a select group of niche shipbuilders 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 reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in custom vessel fabrication, naval architecture, and maritime system integration. Gasperetti’s contracting approach emphasizes technical fidelity, reliability, and industrial capacity, often engaging contractors through sole-source or limited-competition pathways due to the specialized nature of the requirements. Gasperetti’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% no set-aside strategy, indicating a focus on mission-critical capabilities where technical superiority and proven performance outweigh socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his awards are driven by the unique engineering and manufacturing capabilities required for Coast Guard platforms. His primary procurement activity is concentrated under NAICS 334419, Other Electronic Component Manufacturing, underscoring deep specialization in advanced sensor systems, signal processing hardware, and integrated electronic subsystems for maritime surveillance and detection. Gasperetti’s expertise lies in acquiring mission-critical electronics that enable real-time data fusion, radar enhancement, and automated threat identification across coastal and riverine environments.
