Andrew Rothdeutsch serves as a key procurement lead within the U.S. Coast Guard’s SFLC Procurement Branch 2 (70Z085), overseeing the acquisition of shipbuilding, repair, and maintenance services critical to sustaining the Coast Guard’s fleet of cutters and maritime vessels. His responsibilities include managing full lifecycle procurement activities for naval infrastructure, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations, and aligning contract actions with the Coast Guard’s operational readiness goals. He specializes in complex, long-term contracts for vessel modernization, dry-dock maintenance, and propulsion system upgrades, working closely with engineering and logistics teams to translate technical requirements into enforceable procurement statements of work. Rothdeutsch maintains consistent partnerships with a select group of industry leaders including ROLLS-ROYCE SOLUTIONS AMERICA INC, VIGOR MARINE LLC, JAG INDUSTRIAL SERVICES, INC, G I INDUSTRIAL-MARINE, LLC, and L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED. These relationships are built on proven expertise in naval vessel repair, marine fabrication, and integrated maintenance services. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and vendor reliability, fostering long-term collaborations with contractors who demonstrate capacity for high-integrity work in regulated maritime environments. His procurement strategy is uniformly dedicated to small business participation, with 100% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate commitment to empowering small, capable firms with specialized maritime skills, ensuring broad economic opportunity within the defense industrial base while maintaining rigorous performance standards. Rothdeutsch’s portfolio is exclusively focused on NAICS 336611—Ship Building and Repairing—encompassing the procurement of structural repairs, hull modifications, propulsion system overhauls, and electro-mechanical system integration for Coast Guard vessels. His technical expertise lies in naval architecture compliance, corrosion control, and marine system sustainment, making him a specialized practitioner in the niche domain of military maritime lifecycle support.
