Jamy Pickett

Jamy Pickett serves as a Purchasing Agent at U.S. Coast Guard Base New Orleans (70Z029), responsible for managing the acquisition of goods and services essential to sustaining shore-based infrastructure critical to maritime safety and environmental stewardship. In this role, Pickett executes procurements aligned with federal acquisition regulations to support facility modernization, utility system maintenance, and resilience upgrades across Coast Guard installations. Their portfolio primarily encompasses construction-related services, building systems, and facility operations, ensuring compliance with federal standards for infrastructure durability and environmental sustainability in a coastal hazard-prone region. Pickett maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse base of contractors specializing in facility support services, including plumbing, HVAC, landscaping, and commercial construction firms. While no single contractor dominates their award profile, Pickett consistently engages with both large-capacity vendors and small business concerns, fostering competitive bidding environments that prioritize quality, timeliness, and regulatory compliance. Their procurement approach emphasizes transparency, risk mitigation, and performance-based contracting to ensure mission-critical infrastructure remains operational and resilient. Pickett demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with over 31% of acquisitions set aside for total small business participation under FAR 19.5, and a notable 1.4% allocated to 8(a) competed contracts. Although the majority of procurements remain open to all competitors, their consistent use of small business set-asides reflects a deliberate strategy to broaden vendor participation and strengthen local economic resilience in the Gulf Coast region. Their primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238220 (plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors), 236220 (commercial and institutional building construction), and 561730 (landscaping services), underscoring deep expertise in facility maintenance and environmental infrastructure. Pickett also regularly acquires office furniture and specialty plastic materials, indicating a broad technical understanding of building systems and operational support needs across Coast Guard facilities.
