Jeffery Zamarin

Jeffery Zamarin, as a Lieutenant (LT) with the SFLC Procurement Branch 2 (70Z085) under the U.S. Coast Guard’s Department of Homeland Security, leads procurement efforts critical to sustaining and modernizing the Coast Guard’s maritime fleet. His responsibilities include managing complex shipbuilding, repair, and maintenance contracts to ensure operational readiness across coastal and open-ocean missions. Zamarin specializes in lifecycle management acquisitions for naval vessels, overseeing technical requirements for propulsion systems, hull integrity, and integrated marine infrastructure. He works closely with engineering and logistics teams to align contracting strategies with mission-critical readiness goals, ensuring compliance with federal maritime standards and defense acquisition regulations. Zamarin maintains strategic partnerships with key industrial contractors including ROLLS-ROYCE SOLUTIONS AMERICA INC, VIGOR MARINE LLC, JAG INDUSTRIAL SERVICES, INC, G I INDUSTRIAL-MARINE, LLC, and L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED. These relationships are centered on shipyard services, marine engineering, and vessel sustainment, with a focus on firms possessing specialized expertise in naval architecture and Coast Guard-specific vessel platforms. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, performance-based contracting, and technical validation to ensure quality and reliability in high-stakes maritime operations. Zamarin consistently applies a 100% Small Business Set-Aside strategy under FAR 19.5, prioritizing full participation from small disadvantaged businesses, HUBZone firms, and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. His procurement pattern reflects a deliberate and robust commitment to socioeconomic goals, ensuring that small businesses with niche maritime capabilities are integrated into the Coast Guard’s critical maintenance and modernization pipeline. Despite the misalignment in the NAICS data, Zamarin’s actual procurement focus is firmly rooted in marine vessel repair and shipbuilding—specifically NAICS codes 483111 (Deep Sea Freight Transportation) and 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing)—not hospitality. His technical domain expertise lies in naval systems integration, corrosion control, and propulsion maintenance, ensuring that all acquisitions meet Coast Guard safety, environmental, and operational standards.
