Alexander Rodgers

LTJG Alexander Rodgers serves as a contracting officer at U.S. Coast Guard Base Miami (70Z028), where he manages acquisition programs critical to sustaining maritime infrastructure and vessel readiness. His responsibilities include planning, soliciting, awarding, and administering contracts for ship repair, facility modernization, and mechanical systems maintenance to ensure operational continuity for national security, search and rescue, and port safety missions. Rodgers specializes in complex, mission-critical procurements under the Department of Homeland Security’s acquisition framework, with a focus on long-term infrastructure resilience and compliance with federal contracting regulations. He maintains consistent partnerships with a core group of specialized contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, PHOENIX MARINE LLC, and ATZ SOLUTION LLC, all of which provide expert capabilities in marine construction, vessel maintenance, and technical systems integration. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and contractor accountability, fostering long-term relationships with vendors possessing proven experience in Coast Guard-specific operational environments. Commercial BLUE INC and VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER are also engaged for niche support services, reflecting a strategic blend of industrial and specialized service providers. Rodgers demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, directing 100% of his procurements toward total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate a robust small business industrial base capable of meeting the Coast Guard’s unique maritime maintenance needs. All awards are structured to maximize opportunities for small disadvantaged businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, and other socioeconomically disadvantaged entities aligned with the agency’s equity and resilience goals. His procurement portfolio is exclusively focused on NAICS 336611—Ship Building and Repairing—encompassing dry-docking, hull restoration, propulsion system overhauls, and marine electrical integration. Rodgers possesses deep technical expertise in naval architecture and maritime infrastructure lifecycle management, ensuring all acquisitions align with Coast Guard engineering standards and regulatory compliance requirements for operational readiness.
