Jason Heering

Jason Heering serves as a Facilities Engineer at U.S. Coast Guard Base Miami (70Z028), where he plays a critical role in evaluating, planning, and overseeing facility infrastructure acquisitions to sustain operational readiness. His responsibilities include technical assessment of construction and maintenance requirements for maritime facilities, ensuring compliance with federal building standards and mission-critical resilience goals. Heering manages a portfolio of construction and renovation contracts focused on structural integrity, mechanical systems, and environmental controls that support Coast Guard vessel maintenance, base operations, and national security missions. His procurement activities center on engineering-driven solicitations requiring detailed technical specifications and performance-based outcomes. Heering maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, PHOENIX MARINE LLC, and ATZ SOLUTION LLC, all of whom bring expertise in marine-adjacent infrastructure and facility modernization. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for vendors with proven experience in coastal and maritime environments, emphasizing reliability, safety compliance, and rapid response capabilities. Collaborations with COMMERCIAL BLUE INC and VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER further demonstrate his engagement with niche service providers for specialized maintenance and security systems. Heering exhibits a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 91.7% of his acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize small, locally based contractors and foster regional economic resilience. His contracting patterns consistently favor small business participation without reliance on large business prime contractors, aligning with DHS and Coast Guard mandates to expand opportunity for underserved vendors. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238190 (other building exterior contractors) and 238320 (painting and wall covering), each representing 25% of his portfolio, alongside significant activity in electrical (238210) and HVAC (238220) contracting. He also regularly procures locksmith services (561622), underscoring his technical expertise in physical security integration. His domain knowledge spans facility lifecycle management, corrosion control, and marine-grade construction materials, making him a key technical authority in sustaining aging maritime infrastructure.
