Dianne H Jackson

Dianne H. Jackson serves as a key procurement lead within the U.S. Coast Guard’s SFLC Procurement Branch 2 (70Z085), overseeing acquisitions critical to the sustainment and modernization of the Coast Guard’s fleet of cutters and maritime vessels. Her work directly supports operational readiness by managing complex shipbuilding, repair, and maintenance contracts under the Department of Homeland Security’s maritime infrastructure mission. She specializes in full lifecycle procurement of naval platforms, including hull modifications, propulsion system upgrades, and corrosion control services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and naval engineering standards. Jackson maintains strong, long-term relationships with industry partners such as ROLLS-ROYCE SOLUTIONS AMERICA INC, VIGOR MARINE LLC, and JAG INDUSTRIAL SERVICES, INC, all of which provide specialized marine engineering, dry-dock services, and vessel refit capabilities. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for trusted, experienced shipyard contractors with proven track records in naval maintenance, often engaging them through indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and cost-reimbursement contracts to accommodate mission-critical, time-sensitive repairs. Her procurement strategy is deeply rooted in small business participation, with 87.5% of her awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a robust commitment to socioeconomic goals. HUBZone contractors account for 8.3% of her portfolio, demonstrating targeted support for economically distressed communities. She consistently prioritizes small business eligibility and compliance, ensuring equitable access for qualified vendors in the maritime industrial base. The overwhelming majority of her acquisitions fall under NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), indicating deep expertise in naval architecture, marine systems integration, and shipyard operations. She rarely procures outside this domain, with minimal activity in institutional furniture or hospitality, underscoring her singular focus on sustaining the Coast Guard’s maritime fleet through technically rigorous, mission-driven contracting.
