Gordon Martinezdiaz serves as a key procurement lead within the U.S. Coast Guard’s SFLC Procurement Branch 2 (70Z085), overseeing the acquisition of shipbuilding, repair, and maintenance services critical to sustaining the Coast Guard’s fleet of cutters and maritime vessels. His responsibilities include managing full lifecycle procurement activities for naval infrastructure, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations, and aligning contracting strategies with operational readiness goals.

Martinezdiaz maintains consistent partnerships with leading maritime industrial contractors including ROLLS-ROYCE SOLUTIONS AMERICA INC, VIGOR MARINE LLC, JAG INDUSTRIAL SERVICES, INC, G I INDUSTRIAL-MARINE, LLC, and L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED.
