Summary

As a Purchasing Agent, I have been able to provide quotes and solicitations to Fast response cutters so they may meet their foreign port calls on time. The solicitations are met with quotes and requirements with specifics on the specs so the cutter may enter the port. Working with FPD, PCA, Oracle and Navy ERP have helped with these requests. Having a team of 4 gave the units a POC for questions and requests for customers and vendors.
