Jeffrey S. Zamarin

LT. Jeffrey S. Zamarin serves as a contracting officer within the U.S. Coast Guard’s SFLC Procurement Branch 2 (70Z085), where he manages acquisition strategies critical to the sustainment and modernization of the Coast Guard’s fleet of cutters and maritime vessels. His responsibilities include planning, soliciting, and awarding contracts for ship repair, maintenance, and naval infrastructure upgrades, ensuring operational readiness across coastal and open-ocean missions. Zamarin specializes in complex, lifecycle-based procurements that support long-term vessel integrity, often coordinating with shipyards, industrial service providers, and marine engineering firms to deliver mission-critical capabilities under strict regulatory and compliance frameworks. He maintains consistent working relationships with key industrial partners including ROLLS-ROYCE SOLUTIONS AMERICA INC, VIGOR MARINE LLC, JAG INDUSTRIAL SERVICES, INC, G I INDUSTRIAL-MARINE, LLC, and L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED. These contractors provide specialized marine engineering, propulsion system maintenance, dry-dock services, and vessel refurbishment—areas requiring high-level technical expertise and compliance with Coast Guard maritime standards. Zamarin fosters collaborative, performance-driven partnerships, prioritizing vendors with proven track records in naval maintenance and regulatory adherence. Zamarin exhibits a 100% commitment to small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, ensuring that all solicitations within his purview are reserved exclusively for small business concerns. This reflects a deliberate and sustained strategy to enhance socioeconomic diversity within the Coast Guard’s industrial base, empowering qualified small firms to participate in high-stakes maritime support contracts without competition from large businesses. Despite the agency’s maritime focus, Zamarin’s procurement activity is currently classified under NAICS 721110 (Hotels and Motels), indicating a potential data misclassification or administrative anomaly in the system. His true technical domain centers on marine industrial services, vessel maintenance, and naval infrastructure support—areas requiring deep expertise in shipyard operations, corrosion control, and maritime regulatory compliance.
