Corey Linen

Corey Linen serves as the Base San Juan Engineering Lead at U.S. Coast Guard Base MIAMI (70Z028), overseeing the acquisition and management of infrastructure and engineering services critical to maintaining maritime operational readiness. In this role, Linen is responsible for planning, soliciting, and awarding contracts that support facility modernization, water and sewer infrastructure, and communications systems essential to base functionality. Their procurement activities directly enable the Coast Guard’s mission to sustain aging maritime facilities, ensure vessel maintenance capabilities, and uphold port safety and national security operations through resilient infrastructure. Linen maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, PHOENIX MARINE LLC, and ATZ SOLUTION LLC, who specialize in marine construction, facility upgrades, and technical systems integration. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in coastal and waterfront environments, as well as those capable of delivering complex engineering solutions under stringent federal compliance standards. The working relationship pattern emphasizes performance-based outcomes, long-term reliability, and technical adaptability in high-humidity, saltwater-exposed operational settings. Linen exhibits a firm commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 100% of acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This unwavering focus ensures that small businesses—particularly those owned by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals—have equitable access to mission-critical contracts. No large business awards are issued under their purview, reinforcing the agency’s mandate to foster small business growth within the defense and maritime infrastructure sector. The primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237110 for water and sewer line construction and NAICS 334290 for other communications equipment manufacturing. Linen specializes in acquiring underground utility systems, stormwater management infrastructure, and secure, mission-critical communications hardware tailored for maritime environments, demonstrating deep technical expertise in corrosion-resistant materials, coastal engineering standards, and DoD-compliant RF and data transmission systems.
