U.S. Coast Guard

The Coast Guard Acquisition Directorate manages a multibillion-dollar recapitalization investment portfolio of acquisition programs across three major product lines: surface; aviation; and command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems.

These programs are supported by six procurement centers:

• Office of Contract Operations at Coast Guard Headquarters
• Aviation Logistics Center
• Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Information Technology Service Center
• Surface Forces Logistics Center
• Shore Infrastructure Logistics Center – Base Support and Services
• Shore Infrastructure Logistics Center – Construction

Acquiring new assets and upgrading legacy platforms, mission systems and facilities are fundamental aspects of recapitalization, which helps achieve sustainable readiness by replacing obsolete and costly-to-maintain assets. These investments deliver cutters, boats, aircraft and C4ISR systems that meet specified cost, schedule and performance requirements.
