Jason Kotz

Jason Kotz serves as a lead representative within the Facilities Engineering Division at U.S. Coast Guard Base Miami (70Z028), overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure services essential to maintaining operational readiness. His role centers on managing procurement activities for facility maintenance, mechanical system upgrades, and construction support that sustain the Coast Guard’s maritime infrastructure. Kotz handles a diverse portfolio of contracts involving plumbing, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and institutional building construction, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while aligning acquisitions with the agency’s strategic priorities in resilience and modernization. He works closely with engineering and operations teams to translate technical requirements into actionable solicitation packages. Kotz maintains consistent partnerships with a core group of contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, PHOENIX MARINE LLC, ATZ SOLUTION LLC, and COMMERCIAL BLUE INC, all of which provide specialized services in marine facility maintenance, HVAC systems, and commercial construction. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability, technical proficiency, and timely delivery, fostering long-term vendor relationships built on performance and compliance. These contractors are frequently engaged for emergency repairs, preventive maintenance, and facility modernization projects requiring adherence to Coast Guard-specific engineering standards. Kotz demonstrates a full commitment to small business participation, with 100% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize economically disadvantaged and locally based firms, ensuring equitable access to federal opportunities while strengthening regional economic resilience. His contracting patterns consistently favor small business vendors capable of delivering specialized technical services within the maritime infrastructure domain. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors) and 611519 (Other Technical and Trade Schools), indicating a strong emphasis on mechanical systems maintenance and workforce development through skilled trade training. He also engages in commercial building construction under NAICS 236220, reflecting a broad technical expertise in facility lifecycle management and infrastructure sustainment for mission-critical maritime operations.
