Andrew G. Jacobs

Andrew G. Jacobs serves as a secondary procurement specialist within the U.S. Coast Guard’s SFLC Procurement Branch 2 (70Z085), supporting the agency’s mission to sustain and modernize its fleet of cutters and maritime vessels. He plays a critical role in facilitating complex shipbuilding, repair, and maintenance acquisitions aligned with lifecycle management strategies. His responsibilities include coordinating contract actions for technical marine systems, vessel infrastructure upgrades, and industrial support services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and operational readiness requirements. Jacobs works closely with primary contracting officers to execute procurements that uphold the Coast Guard’s maritime defense posture across coastal, offshore, and open-ocean domains. Jacobs maintains consistent procurement relationships with key industrial partners including ROLLS-ROYCE SOLUTIONS AMERICA INC, VIGOR MARINE LLC, JAG INDUSTRIAL SERVICES, INC, G I INDUSTRIAL-MARINE, LLC, and L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED. These vendors provide specialized shipyard services, marine propulsion components, structural repairs, and heavy-lift crane systems essential to vessel sustainment. His working patterns reflect a preference for established industrial contractors with proven naval experience, often leveraging long-term blanket purchase agreements and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts to ensure responsive, mission-critical support. His procurement portfolio demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 41.2% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and an additional 3.3% allocated to HUBZone firms. While the majority of contracts are unrestricted, Jacobs actively facilitates socioeconomic contracting goals, including targeted opportunities for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, reflecting a balanced approach between operational necessity and federal socioeconomic mandates. The overwhelming majority of his acquisitions fall under NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), underscoring deep expertise in naval vessel maintenance, dry-dock operations, and marine systems integration. He also procures specialized engineering services and overhead crane systems critical to shipyard infrastructure, demonstrating technical fluency in maritime industrial operations and defense logistics.
