Jean Wright serves as a Contract Specialist within the C5I Division 3 Portsmouth under the U.S. Coast Guard and Department of Homeland Security, where she manages the acquisition of critical command, control, communications, computers, cyber, and intelligence (C5I) systems. Her role centers on ensuring the timely and compliant procurement of advanced maritime surveillance, navigation, and secure communication technologies that underpin national security and operational resilience. She handles full lifecycle contract actions—from requirements definition and market research to solicitation, evaluation, and award—for complex technical services supporting the maritime domain awareness mission. Jean maintains a primary working relationship with TRIMBLE INC, a key provider of geospatial and precision navigation solutions, reflecting her focus on high-integrity technical systems. Her contracting patterns indicate sustained engagement with established defense and aerospace contractors delivering integrated C5I platforms, often involving systems integration, cybersecurity compliance, and mission-critical software development. These partnerships are characterized by long-term, performance-based contracting approaches aligned with operational readiness objectives. Jean’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition, indicating a preference for technical excellence and mission-critical capability over socioeconomic classifications. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her award strategy, she adheres strictly to federal acquisition regulations to ensure transparency and fair competition across all vendor tiers. Her primary NAICS classification is 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), underscoring her specialization in bespoke software development, systems engineering, cyber-enabled data analytics, and IT infrastructure modernization for maritime operations. She consistently procures services that enhance real-time data fusion, secure network architectures, and interoperable C5I platforms—demanding deep technical acumen in defense-grade IT systems and federal cybersecurity standards.
