What types of maritime-related work does the US Coast Guard prioritize?

Are security clearances required for most US Coast Guard contracts?

While many operational contracts require facility clearances for personnel working on sensitive maritime security systems or classified communications, many maintenance and logistics contracts only require standard background checks for site access at Coast Guard bases and shipyards.
