Jermond M. Williamson

Jermond Williamson serves as a Storekeeper 2nd Class within the SFLC Procurement Branch 2 (70Z085) of the U.S. Coast Guard, playing a critical logistical and supply chain support role in the agency’s vessel sustainment mission. Responsible for inventory management, material issuance, and procurement coordination for shipbuilding and repair operations, Williamson ensures the timely availability of critical components and industrial supplies required for cutter maintenance and modernization. His work directly enables the operational readiness of the Coast Guard’s maritime fleet by bridging procurement planning with field-level logistics, handling acquisitions tied to shipyard infrastructure, marine equipment, and industrial repair services. Williamson maintains consistent working relationships 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 partnerships center on specialized marine engineering, vessel repair, and industrial maintenance services essential to sustaining the Coast Guard’s aging and next-generation cutter fleet. His procurement interactions reflect a reliance on experienced, Navy-certified vendors with deep expertise in naval architecture and shipyard operations, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in technical compliance and just-in-time delivery requirements. His contracting activity reflects a strong preference for small business participation, with 46.4% of acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small, qualified vendors. While no specific socioeconomic set-asides (e.g., 8(a), HUBZone) dominate, the consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a strategic alignment with federal goals for inclusive industrial base development. The overwhelming majority of Williamson’s procurement activity—72.4%—falls under NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), reflecting his deep specialization in naval maintenance and vessel lifecycle support. He routinely procures marine-grade materials, propulsion components, hull repair systems, and industrial instrumentation, demonstrating technical fluency in maritime engineering domains and the regulatory standards governing Coast Guard vessel integrity.
