Bienvenido M. Arrozal

Bienvenido M. Arrozal serves as a Storekeeper within the SFLC Procurement Branch 2 (70Z085) of the U.S. Coast Guard, operating under the Department of Homeland Security. In this critical logistics role, he supports the acquisition and inventory management of components essential to the sustainment, repair, and modernization of Coast Guard cutters and maritime vessels. His responsibilities include tracking, storing, and issuing specialized marine hardware, propulsion parts, and industrial equipment, ensuring timely availability for maintenance and shipyard operations. Arrozal’s work directly enables operational readiness by maintaining supply chain integrity for mission-critical naval infrastructure, bridging procurement actions with field-level execution in shipbuilding and repair environments. He maintains consistent working 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 center on the procurement of marine propulsion systems, structural components, industrial maintenance services, and fabricated metal parts. Arrozal collaborates closely with these vendors to ensure compliance with technical specifications, delivery schedules, and quality assurance protocols required for naval applications, fostering reliable, long-term supplier engagement grounded in operational urgency and regulatory adherence. Arrozal’s procurement patterns reflect a strong emphasis on small business participation, with 46% of acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of contracts are open to all competitors, his consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for qualified small manufacturers and service providers within the maritime industrial base. His contracting approach aligns with federal socioeconomic goals without compromising mission-critical supply chain reliability. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), accounting for nearly 70% of activity, with secondary emphasis on industrial machinery wholesalers and metal fabrication. He routinely procures marine-grade components, repair kits, valve systems, and custom-fabricated parts essential to cutter lifecycle management, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with naval engineering standards and maritime supply chain dynamics.
