Jeanie S Thorne

Jeanie S. Thorne serves as a Contract Specialist within the U.S. Coast Guard’s LOG-9 office (70Z084), responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions that sustain shore-based and maritime operational readiness. She executes competitive acquisitions under FAR Part 15 and Part 19, focusing on life-cycle support services critical to facility maintenance, environmental compliance, and personnel welfare. Her portfolio includes complex service contracts requiring technical evaluation, performance-based outcomes, and stringent compliance with DHS and Coast Guard mission priorities, ensuring seamless support for training, housing, and logistics across the nation’s coastal and inland waterways. Thorne maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of established contractors, including GILMAN CORPORATION THE, FRONTLINE ENTERPRISES LLC, ISN ALLIANCE LLC, S3 SOLUTIONS ONE LLC, and FAZTEC INDUSTRIES INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven capability in integrated facilities support, waste management, and operational services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance metrics, past performance evaluation, and long-term vendor reliability, fostering stable, mission-aligned relationships that reduce transition risk and enhance service continuity. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted as open competitions (68.1%), Thorne actively promotes socioeconomic inclusion through targeted set-asides, with notable emphasis on Total Small Business Set-Asides (20.8%) and balanced participation from HUBZone and 8(a) certified firms (each at 4.2%). She also supports Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business awards (1.4%), aligning with federal mandates to expand opportunities for underserved small businesses while maintaining competitive integrity. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), with significant activity in Solid Waste Collection (562111), Food Service Contractors (722310), Landscaping Services (561730), and Lodging Services (721110). This reflects deep expertise in managing mission-critical non-combat services that sustain Coast Guard personnel and infrastructure, requiring nuanced understanding of federal facility operations, environmental regulations, and service delivery standards in remote and high-availability environments.
