Jason Levin

Jason Levin serves as a key procurement lead within the U.S. Coast Guard’s SFLC Procurement Branch 1 (70Z080), overseeing the acquisition of critical maritime asset sustainment and modernization services. His responsibilities center on managing complex shipbuilding, repair, and maintenance contracts essential to maintaining the operational readiness of the Coast Guard’s cutter fleet. He handles a portfolio of acquisitions spanning dry dock overhauls, propulsion system upgrades, hull integrity restoration, and vessel modernization projects, ensuring compliance with naval engineering standards and lifecycle extension goals. Levin plays a pivotal role in translating operational requirements into technically sound procurement strategies that support the Coast Guard’s enduring mission across coastal, offshore, and open-ocean domains. Levin maintains consistent, long-term relationships with a select group of specialized maritime contractors, including Fairbanks Morse, LLC for propulsion systems, Bay Ship & Yacht Co and Thoma-Sea Marine Constructors, L.L.C. for vessel repair and conversion, Automatic Coating Limited USA for protective coating applications, and Tecnico Corporation for integrated marine systems. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven naval shipyard experience, Navy and Coast Guard certification, and deep technical expertise in marine engineering and corrosion control. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, quality assurance, and performance-based outcomes over cost alone. Levin’s procurement strategy is uniformly aligned with full small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. All awards are reserved exclusively for small businesses, fostering opportunities for certified firms including HUBZone, 8(a), and WOSB entities with specialized maritime capabilities. This pattern reinforces the agency’s mandate to strengthen the domestic industrial base and cultivate a resilient supply chain of qualified small vendors. His technical focus lies in naval ship repair, marine systems integration, and vessel lifecycle sustainment, with acquisitions targeting hull fabrication, mechanical and electrical retrofits, and compliance with Coast Guard technical specifications. He specializes in procuring services that extend vessel service life through dry-dock modernization, emphasizing precision engineering and materials science tailored to saltwater operational environments.
