Jazmine Gordon

Jazmine Gordon serves as a Contract Specialist within the U.S. Coast Guard’s Headquarters Contract Operations (CG-912), where she plays a pivotal role in executing strategic acquisitions that support national maritime security and operational readiness. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts for aerospace, maritime, and technical services, with a focus on modernizing vessel fleets, enhancing maritime domain awareness systems, and procuring specialized search and detection technologies. Her work directly enables the Coast Guard’s mission to sustain and advance its coastal and riverine patrol capabilities through timely, compliant, and mission-driven procurement actions. Gordon maintains longstanding relationships with key shipbuilders and defense contractors, including Bollinger Shipyards Lockport, L.L.C., Davie Defense Inc., Rauma Marine Constructions Oy, and Rozema’s Boat Works, Inc. These partnerships are primarily centered on the design, construction, and modernization of high-performance vessels and mission-critical maritime systems. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, performance-based contracting, and rigorous compliance with federal acquisition regulations to ensure delivery of reliable, mission-ready assets. Her procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 92.7% of awards issued without set-asides. Nevertheless, she actively supports socioeconomic programs, consistently awarding contracts to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (2.4%) and Total Small Business Set-Asides (4.9%), demonstrating a balanced commitment to both mission efficiency and broad-based industry participation. Gordon’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS categories including 334511 for search, detection, and nautical instrumentation manufacturing, 611430 for professional and management development training, and 541330 for engineering services. She routinely procures advanced navigation systems, vessel modernization services, and customized technical training programs that enhance Coast Guard operational effectiveness across maritime domains.
