Jaime R. Warren

Jaime R. Warren serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Coast Guard’s SFLC Procurement Branch 1 (70Z080), overseeing the acquisition of critical shipbuilding, repair, and maintenance services to sustain the nation’s maritime fleet. Responsible for managing complex contract actions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, Warren ensures that vessel modernization, dry dock overhauls, and propulsion system upgrades align with operational readiness requirements. Their work directly supports the Coast Guard’s mission to maintain a resilient, mission-capable cutter fleet across coastal, offshore, and open-ocean domains, with a focus on long-term asset sustainment and lifecycle extension. Warren maintains established working relationships with leading maritime industrial partners including Fairbanks Morse, LLC, Bay Ship & Yacht Co, and Thoma-Sea Marine Constructors, L.L.C., among others. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced shipyard and marine systems contractors capable of delivering specialized naval repair, fabrication, and engineering services. The procurement approach emphasizes technical compliance, quality assurance, and performance-based contracting to ensure adherence to Coast Guard maritime standards and safety protocols. A strong commitment to small business participation defines Warren’s contracting strategy, with over 72% of acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate emphasis on enabling small, qualified vendors to compete for high-value maritime work, with minimal use of other socioeconomic set-asides such as HUBZone or WOSB. The consistent application of small business preferences underscores a strategic effort to cultivate a robust, diverse industrial base capable of supporting Coast Guard sustainment needs. The overwhelming majority of procurements—nearly 98%—fall under NAICS 336611, Ship Building and Repairing, indicating deep specialization in naval architecture, hull maintenance, and marine systems integration. Warren’s expertise centers on technical acquisitions involving steel fabrication, propulsion retrofits, corrosion control, and dry dock scheduling, requiring precise understanding of maritime engineering standards and naval vessel lifecycle management.
