Jason Briggs

Jason Briggs serves as a Facilities Engineering Specialist within the U.S. Coast Guard Base Miami (70Z028), responsible for overseeing the planning, procurement, and execution of infrastructure maintenance and modernization projects critical to operational readiness. His role ensures the integrity of maritime facilities, including vessel support structures, mechanical systems, and base-wide infrastructure, aligning procurement activities with the agency’s mission to sustain aging assets and enhance resilience. Briggs primarily manages construction and facility-related acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, focusing on capital improvement, repair, and environmental compliance initiatives that support national security and port safety operations. He maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, PHOENIX MARINE LLC, ATZ SOLUTION LLC, and COMMERCIAL BLUE INC, partnering with firms experienced in marine infrastructure, site preparation, and building envelope systems. These vendor relationships reflect a preference for specialized, niche contractors capable of delivering complex facility upgrades under demanding coastal environmental conditions, often requiring coordination with federal environmental and safety standards. Briggs demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 88.9% of his procurements structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. His contracting patterns prioritize socioeconomic programs, consistently awarding contracts to small, locally-based firms and demonstrating a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for disadvantaged business enterprises within the maritime infrastructure sector. His procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 238160 (Roofing Contractors), 238320 (Painting and Wall Covering), 238910 (Site Preparation), and 238190 (Other Building Exterior Contractors), reflecting deep expertise in building envelope systems, exterior restoration, and marine-compatible infrastructure. He also procures specialized textile and canvas products under 314910 for protective covers and maritime applications, underscoring a technical understanding of materials suited for saltwater exposure and high-wear environments.
