Jaime Diaz

Jaime Diaz serves as the primary procurement lead for the SFLC Procurement Branch 2 (70Z085) within the U.S. Coast Guard’s Department of Homeland Security, overseeing the acquisition of critical maritime vessel systems and infrastructure. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of shipbuilding, repair, and maintenance contracts, Diaz ensures operational readiness through strategic sourcing of naval platforms and associated marine systems. Their portfolio centers on complex, technically demanding procurements involving hull fabrication, propulsion integration, electrical systems, and corrosion-resistant coatings, all aligned with the Coast Guard’s mission to sustain a modern, seaworthy fleet across coastal and open-ocean environments. Diaz maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized shipyard and industrial contractors, including ROLLS-ROYCE SOLUTIONS AMERICA INC, VIGOR MARINE LLC, JAG INDUSTRIAL SERVICES, INC, G I INDUSTRIAL-MARINE, LLC, and L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in naval architecture, dry-dock maintenance, and marine industrial services. The procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, performance-based contracting, and technical compliance with U.S. Navy and Coast Guard engineering standards. Diaz’s contracting portfolio is evenly split between open competitions and Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate and balanced commitment to small business participation. While no other socioeconomic set-asides dominate, the consistent use of small business set-asides signals a strategic effort to cultivate a resilient, diversified industrial base capable of supporting Coast Guard maintenance and modernization objectives. The branch’s procurement activity is exclusively focused on NAICS 336611 — Ship Building and Repairing — reflecting deep technical specialization in naval surface vessel lifecycle management. Diaz’s expertise lies in procuring integrated marine systems, including propulsion units, deck machinery, and structural upgrades, all requiring adherence to stringent maritime safety and durability standards. Their work ensures the Coast Guard’s fleet remains mission-ready through precision-engineered, compliant acquisitions.
