Since I am feeling Siri-minded, here is the guidance copied directly from USNA.edu, your primary source. If you haven’t yet read every page, link and menu item there, I recommend it. USNA has laid out the guidance in crystal fashion.

“The CFA MUST be administered by a high school/prep school physical education teacher, a coach, a current JROTC instructor, an active duty commissioned officer, or the candidate's Blue and Gold Officer.”

Sea Cadets, a fine organization, is an independent non-profit organization that has Navy support. It is not the same as any JROTC program. If the Sea Cadet CO meets the above criteria, he or she is fine to administer the CFA.

I did read that. Just wasn't sure how they qualified a Sea Cadet unit?

If you dive into the NJROTC and Sea Cadet websites and do the research yourself, you will see they are two different organizations. The JROTC programs are federal programs using tax-payer money, with instructors who are on Federal payroll. Sea Cadets is a private organization which does get some funding from the Navy. USNA does not include “Sea Cadet instructor” on their list, which is very clear in precisely naming qualified CFA administrator sources.

You are smart to be thinking about this now, lining up your administrator. If you can get your CFA done early in the cycle with a score above the averages, that’s one more thing to get checked off the list as the intensity ramps up.
