Derriel D Ervin

Derriel D. Ervin serves as a key procurement lead within the SFLC Procurement Branch 3 (00040), operating under the U.S. Coast Guard’s Department of Homeland Security mission to sustain and modernize the national maritime fleet. Responsible for managing complex acquisitions in vessel maintenance, propulsion systems, and operational infrastructure, Ervin ensures the Coast Guard’s cutters and marine assets remain mission-ready through timely and compliant contracting. His portfolio centers on industrial and mechanical procurement, with a strong emphasis on lifecycle support for marine propulsion, power transmission, and auxiliary equipment. He executes contracts under FAR Part 13 and Part 15 procedures, balancing operational urgency with regulatory rigor to support fleet readiness across domestic and offshore operations. Ervin maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized marine and industrial vendors, including Philadelphia Electrical Equipment Co., JDCI Enterprises, Inc., ALS Services USA, Corp., Cabras Marine Corporation, and Bay Marine Boatworks, Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for contractors with proven expertise in marine mechanical systems, vessel repair, and custom-engineered propulsion components. His contracting patterns emphasize long-term vendor reliability, technical specificity, and on-site service capability, often requiring contractors to possess DOD or Coast Guard facility access and quality assurance certifications under ISO 9001 or AS9100 standards. Set-aside preferences reveal a strong inclination toward open competition, with 90.6% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides.
