Yvonne Green

Yvonne Green serves as a key procurement lead within the U.S. Coast Guard’s Headquarters Contract Operations (CG-912), where she manages strategic acquisitions critical to maritime security and operational readiness. Her portfolio centers on the acquisition of specialized vessel construction, maintenance, and modernization services, as well as technical support for coastal patrol and maritime domain awareness systems. She plays a pivotal role in aligning contracting strategies with the Coast Guard’s mission to sustain and enhance its fleet capabilities through innovative, mission-critical solutions. Her work directly supports the agency’s priorities in force modernization, search and detection enhancement, and riverine patrol readiness. Green maintains consistent partnerships with a core group of shipbuilding and maritime services contractors, including Bollinger Shipyards, Davie Defense Inc., Rauma Marine Constructions Oy, and Rozema’s Boat Works, Inc. These relationships reflect a focus on mid-to-large-tier vendors with proven expertise in naval architecture, vessel refit, and Coast Guard-specific compliance standards. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical evaluation of shipyard capabilities, and performance-based contract management to ensure mission-critical delivery timelines and quality standards. A strong advocate for small business participation, Green consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with approximately 60% of her awards reserved for small businesses. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to foster competition, enhance industrial base resilience, and expand opportunities for qualified small firms in the maritime and technical services sectors. Her contracting decisions reflect a balanced commitment to both capability and socioeconomic goals. Her procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 611519 (Other Technical and Trade Schools), indicating a significant investment in workforce training and technical education services for Coast Guard personnel, alongside NAICS 811490 for specialized repair and maintenance of maritime equipment. This dual focus reveals expertise in both human capital development and physical asset sustainment within the maritime domain.
