Jason Billings

Jason Billings serves as a key procurement lead within the U.S. Coast Guard’s Cg ACADEMY (70Z039), overseeing contracts critical to sustaining the agency’s maritime training infrastructure. His responsibilities center on acquiring maintenance, repair, and logistical support services that ensure the operational readiness of training vessels, simulation equipment, and facility systems. Billings manages acquisitions aligned with the Coast Guard’s mission to maintain a high-functioning academic environment for cadets and staff, focusing on lifecycle management of maritime assets and industrial equipment. He routinely handles service-based contracts under the Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance NAICS code, ensuring compliance with federal procurement standards while prioritizing mission-critical uptime and safety. Billings maintains consistent partnerships with specialized vendors including TOP 3D SHOP INC, VANTAGE POINT, INC, CHASE, LEAVITT & CO. INC, and CROCKER’S BOATYARD, INC., all of whom provide niche expertise in marine mechanical systems, equipment refurbishment, and facility maintenance. These relationships reflect a preference for established, technically proficient contractors with proven capabilities in maritime industrial services. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical specificity, and long-term vendor performance over competitive bidding alone, fostering stable, mission-aligned partnerships. Billings’ procurement portfolio reflects a 100% no set-aside orientation, indicating a focus on technical capability and service quality over socioeconomic classifications. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his selections are driven by the specialized nature of the work, which often requires industry-certified technicians and vessel-specific expertise not widely available among small business pools. His primary industry focus is NAICS 811310, encompassing the repair, overhaul, and preventive maintenance of commercial and industrial machinery used in maritime training environments. This includes propulsion systems, navigation simulators, boat hull maintenance, and facility-based mechanical systems. Billings’ expertise lies in procuring highly technical, non-standardized services that demand deep domain knowledge in marine engineering and equipment lifecycle support.
