Jamie Quintanilla

Jamie Quintanilla serves as a key procurement professional within the SFLC Procurement Branch 3 (00040), part of the U.S. Coast Guard under the Department of Homeland Security. Responsible for managing shipbuilding and repair acquisitions, Quintanilla ensures the operational readiness of the Coast Guard’s maritime fleet through lifecycle management of cutters and vessel systems. Their work directly supports the agency’s mission to sustain and modernize critical maritime infrastructure, overseeing full-spectrum contracting activities from solicitation to award for complex naval maintenance and modernization projects. Quintanilla specializes in performance-based, cost-reimbursement, and fixed-price contracts tailored to shipyard and marine engineering services. Quintanilla maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized marine contractors, 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 vendors with proven expertise in vessel repair, electrical systems integration, marine fabrication, and dry-dock operations. The contracting patterns indicate a reliance on established, technically capable small businesses with deep domain knowledge in Coast Guard-specific vessel requirements, fostering long-term collaboration grounded in quality, compliance, and mission alignment. Quintanilla demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, directing 100% of procurements under the Total Small Business Set-Aside authority (FAR 19.5). This reflects a deliberate strategy to empower small, independently owned marine service providers, ensuring equitable access to federal contracts while leveraging their agility and specialized capabilities. No other socioeconomic set-asides are utilized, indicating a focused approach that prioritizes broad small business inclusion over targeted categories like 8(a) or HUBZone. The procurement portfolio is exclusively centered on NAICS 336611—Ship Building and Repairing—reflecting deep technical expertise in naval architecture, hull maintenance, propulsion system overhauls, and marine electrical retrofits. Quintanilla’s acquisitions encompass everything from dry-dock repairs and structural refurbishments to integrated system upgrades, ensuring vessels meet stringent Coast Guard safety and operational standards. Their domain knowledge is rooted in the unique demands of federal maritime asset sustainment.
