Jason Hudson

Jason Hudson supports the SFLC Procurement Branch 3 (70Z040) within the U.S. Coast Guard in executing critical acquisition strategies to sustain and modernize the nation’s maritime fleet. He manages the full lifecycle procurement of shipbuilding, repair, and maintenance services essential to maintaining cutter readiness and operational endurance. His work directly enables the Coast Guard’s mission by ensuring vessels remain seaworthy, compliant, and mission-capable through timely and technically sound contracting actions. Hudson specializes in complex, performance-based contracts for naval vessel systems, including hull modifications, propulsion upgrades, and integrated maintenance support services. He maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized maritime contractors, including Philadelphia Electrical Equipment Co., JDCI Enterprises, Inc., ALS Services USA, Corp., Cabras Marine Corporation, and Bay Marine Boatworks, Inc. These vendors are recognized for their technical expertise in marine electrical systems, vessel repair, and fabrication services tailored to Coast Guard operational requirements. Hudson fosters long-term, performance-driven partnerships grounded in quality assurance, regulatory compliance, and timely delivery of mission-critical maritime infrastructure. Hudson’s procurement portfolio is entirely set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, reflecting a firm commitment to maximizing small business participation across all acquisitions. He consistently directs contracts to small business concerns with proven capabilities in marine engineering and shipyard services, reinforcing the Coast Guard’s statutory obligation to promote economic opportunity within the defense industrial base. His approach aligns with broader Department of Homeland Security goals to strengthen resilient, locally rooted maritime supply chains. His primary focus is on NAICS 336611—Ship Building and Repairing—where he procures specialized services including dry-docking, structural repairs, electrical and mechanical system overhauls, and compliance upgrades for federal maritime vessels. His technical expertise lies in naval architecture standards, Coast Guard engineering specifications, and maintenance logistics for aging cutter classes, ensuring acquisitions meet stringent safety and operational endurance requirements.
