Jennifer Gaudio

Jennifer Gaudio serves as Museum Curator at the CG ACADEMY (70Z039), a training and operational readiness facility under the U.S. Coast Guard within the Department of Homeland Security. In this role, she oversees the acquisition, preservation, and display of maritime heritage assets critical to the educational mission of the Academy. Her procurement responsibilities center on securing specialized graphic design services to develop interpretive exhibits, archival documentation, and instructional materials that enhance cadet training through historical context and visual storytelling. She ensures all acquisitions align with federal museum standards and support the Coast Guard’s broader mission of preserving institutional legacy while fostering operational awareness. Gaudio maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors including TOP 3D SHOP INC, VANTAGE POINT, INC, CHASE, LEAVITT & CO. INC, and CROCKER’S BOATYARD, INC. These vendors provide high-fidelity visual reconstructions, archival graphic rendering, exhibit fabrication, and maritime artifact documentation services. Her procurement pattern reflects a preference for long-term, specialized vendor partnerships with demonstrated expertise in heritage interpretation and technical illustration, rather than transactional or commoditized sourcing. Her contracting activity shows a 100% preference for non-set-aside procurements, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic classifications. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her selections are driven by domain-specific proficiency in maritime museum curation and exhibit design. Gaudio’s primary procurement focus is NAICS 541430 (Graphic Design Services), reflecting her specialization in creating visually rich, historically accurate content for educational exhibits. She procures custom illustrations, 3D modeling, digital archiving, and interactive display systems tailored to maritime history and Coast Guard heritage, demonstrating deep expertise in the intersection of visual communication and institutional legacy management.
