Jeramyah George

Jeramyah George serves as a procurement specialist within the U.S. Coast Guard’s SFLC Procurement Branch 2 (70Z085), supporting the agency’s critical mission to sustain and modernize its fleet of cutters and maritime vessels. Responsible for managing complex shipbuilding and repair acquisitions, George ensures compliance with federal contracting regulations while advancing operational readiness across coastal and open-ocean domains. Their work centers on lifecycle management of naval infrastructure, overseeing contracts for vessel maintenance, structural upgrades, and integration of mission-critical marine systems. This role is pivotal in aligning procurement strategy with the Coast Guard’s long-term modernization goals and fleet resilience priorities. George 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 shipyard services, marine propulsion systems, and heavy industrial repair capabilities essential to vessel sustainment. The working relationships reflect a preference for established Tier 1 vendors with proven expertise in naval architecture and maritime fabrication, often engaging through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated contracts under FAR Part 15. While nearly half of George’s acquisitions are set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, the majority of awards remain open to all competitors, reflecting a balanced approach between small business participation and industrial capacity needs. The procurement portfolio demonstrates a strong emphasis on total small business set-asides, aligning with federal socioeconomic goals while ensuring access to qualified, capable vendors capable of meeting stringent maritime standards. The overwhelming focus of George’s portfolio is on NAICS 336611—Ship Building and Repairing—indicating deep expertise in naval vessel construction, dry-dock maintenance, and marine systems integration. Procurements include structural steel fabrication, propulsion system overhauls, hull coating applications, and compliance with Coast Guard technical specifications for safety and endurance. This specialization underscores a technical domain grounded in maritime industrial engineering and defense logistics.
