Andres Camargo

Andres Camargo serves as a procurement lead within the U.S. Coast Guard’s SFLC Procurement Branch 2 (70Z085), where he manages critical acquisitions supporting the lifecycle maintenance, modernization, and repair of the Coast Guard’s fleet of cutters and maritime vessels. His role centers on executing complex shipbuilding and industrial service contracts that ensure operational readiness across coastal and open-ocean missions. Camargo specializes in procurement actions involving marine engineering, vessel repair, and naval infrastructure sustainment, aligning acquisitions with the Coast Guard’s strategic priorities for fleet resilience and technological integration. He maintains longstanding relationships with key industrial contractors including ROLLS-ROYCE SOLUTIONS AMERICA INC, VIGOR MARINE LLC, JAG INDUSTRIAL SERVICES, INC, G I INDUSTRIAL-MARINE, LLC, and L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED. These partnerships reflect a focus on high-capacity shipyards and specialized marine industrial service providers capable of delivering heavy fabrication, propulsion system upgrades, and dry-dock maintenance. Camargo’s contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance with naval standards, and contractor reliability in mission-critical environments. Camargo’s procurement portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate emphasis on technical capability and industrial capacity over socioeconomic categorizations, prioritizing mission-critical delivery over mandated small business set-asides. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in his portfolio, vendors must still meet stringent performance, safety, and compliance benchmarks inherent to maritime defense contracting. His primary NAICS classification is 721110—Hotels (except Casino Hotels) and Motels—which appears to be a data anomaly or misclassification. Given the agency’s mission, Camargo’s actual technical domain involves marine industrial services, ship repair, and naval vessel sustainment, likely aligning with NAICS codes such as 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing) or 238910 (Marine Construction). His expertise lies in managing technical specifications for propulsion systems, hull integrity, and Coast Guard-specific operational requirements.
