Jason G. Herrera

Jason G. Herrera supports the procurement mission of the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard IMF, a critical facility within the Department of the Navy responsible for sustaining the readiness of the U.S. Navy’s fleet through complex ship repair, maintenance, and industrial modernization. Though his formal title is not listed, his role centers on managing contract actions tied to naval vessel lifecycle support, including drydocking, system overhauls, and precision industrial services. He handles acquisitions under the Naval Sea Systems Command framework, ensuring compliance with defense acquisition regulations and prioritizing mission-critical delivery timelines for surface fleet assets. Herrera maintains consistent working relationships with key industrial partners including LAKE UNION DRYDOCK CO, SUNBELT RENTALS, INC, FLUKE ELECTRONICS CORP, PAULEY RODINE INC, and MOTIVE POWER MARINE, LLC. These contractors provide specialized services ranging from drydock infrastructure and crane operations to electrical diagnostics, marine propulsion maintenance, and industrial rental solutions. His procurement approach emphasizes technical reliability, regulatory adherence, and long-term vendor performance, fostering stable partnerships with firms possessing deep naval industrial base experience. His contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a deliberate effort to engage small businesses in mission-critical support roles. While the majority of procurements remain open to all competitors, the consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a structured commitment to broadening vendor participation without compromising operational readiness. Herrera’s procurement portfolio is exclusively focused on NAICS 336611—Ship Building and Repairing—reflecting deep specialization in naval industrial work. He procures services related to hull maintenance, propulsion system overhauls, electrical and mechanical system upgrades, and precision machining for naval vessels. His expertise lies in managing complex, technically demanding contracts that require adherence to stringent Navy specifications and quality assurance protocols for sustained fleet availability.
