BMC Justin D. Olson serves as Officer in Charge at U.S. Coast Guard Base Cleveland (70Z030), where he oversees the planning, solicitation, and award of facility sustainment and infrastructure support contracts critical to operational readiness across the Great Lakes region. His procurement responsibilities center on maintaining and modernizing Coast Guard facilities through comprehensive building envelope repairs, mechanical and electrical system upgrades, and environmental compliance initiatives. Olson manages a portfolio of acquisitions aligned with federal facility standards, ensuring that all contracts meet mission-critical performance, safety, and regulatory requirements under the authority of the Department of Homeland Security. Olson collaborates with a diverse range of contractors specializing in facility maintenance, civil engineering, and water transportation support services. While no single vendor dominates his award portfolio, he consistently engages firms with proven expertise in naval infrastructure, HVAC modernization, roofing systems, and hazardous material abatement. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and contractor accountability, fostering long-term partnerships with firms capable of delivering complex, multi-disciplinary facility projects under tight operational timelines. Olson’s procurement strategy reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions designated as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on technical capability and mission necessity over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing the most qualified offerors regardless of business size or certification status. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in his portfolio, he remains compliant with all federal acquisition regulations and maintains transparency in source selection. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 488390 — Other Support Activities for Water Transportation — encompassing facility operations support, infrastructure maintenance, and environmental remediation services. Olson’s technical domain expertise lies in naval facility sustainment, including structural integrity assessments, utility system upgrades, and compliance with DoD and EPA standards for waterfront installations. He is a key liaison between engineering teams and contracting professionals, ensuring that technical requirements are accurately translated into enforceable contract deliverables.
