Mr. Jason M Askew

Jason M. Askew serves as a key procurement lead at Base Cape COD (00052), operating under the U.S. Coast Guard within the Department of Homeland Security. He manages facility maintenance and infrastructure modernization contracts critical to sustaining operational readiness at Coast Guard installations. His acquisitions focus on ensuring compliance with federal safety, environmental, and resilience standards through lifecycle support of mechanical, electrical, and structural systems. Askew routinely handles service-based contracts under FAR Part 37, emphasizing performance-based outcomes and long-term asset sustainability, with a strong emphasis on mission-critical facility services. Askew maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including 3D Shop Inc., Vantage Point, Inc., Chase, Leavitt & Co. Inc., and Crockers Boatyard, Inc. These vendors provide high-skill trades services such as HVAC overhaul, electrical system upgrades, plumbing rehabilitation, and marine infrastructure maintenance. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, technically proficient firms with proven track records in federal facility operations, often leveraging task orders under indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles to ensure rapid response and continuity of operations. His procurement strategy reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic set-asides, with equal portions of awards designated for Total Small Business Set-Asides (FAR 19.5), Local Area Set-Asides (FAR 26.2), and open competitions. This reflects a deliberate effort to foster regional economic resilience while maintaining competitive rigor. He actively prioritizes small business participation, particularly among firms with facility services expertise, aligning with DHS goals to expand opportunities for qualified small and local vendors. Askew’s primary NAICS focus is 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance), underscoring his specialization in mechanical and industrial system upkeep, complemented by 561790 (Other Services to Buildings and Dwellings) for comprehensive facility support. His portfolio centers on preventive maintenance, retrofitting, and compliance-driven upgrades of critical infrastructure, demonstrating deep technical expertise in federal facility operations and lifecycle asset management.
