Jerry Hendricks

Jerry E. Hendricks serves as a Contract Specialist within the U.S. Coast Guard’s LOG-9 office (70Z084), responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions supporting shore-based and maritime operational readiness. He executes competitive and non-competitive acquisitions for critical life-cycle support services, ensuring compliance with FAR and agency-specific policies. His portfolio primarily encompasses facility maintenance, environmental remediation, surveying and mapping, petroleum logistics, and specialized personal services essential to sustaining Coast Guard personnel and mission-critical infrastructure across coastal and inland waterways. Hendricks maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including GILMAN CORPORATION THE, FRONTLINE ENTERPRISES LLC, S3 SOLUTIONS ONE LLC, FAZTEC INDUSTRIES INC, and VMX INTERNATIONAL LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in industrial fabrication, environmental compliance, and technical support services. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous source selection, and long-term vendor reliability, fostering stable, mission-aligned supplier networks that meet the Coast Guard’s stringent operational standards. His procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 75% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides, while maintaining a deliberate 25% commitment to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Though not focused on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB-specific programs, Hendricks actively supports broad small business participation, ensuring equitable access for qualified firms across socioeconomic categories without mandating specific designations. His primary NAICS focus areas include 332313 (Plate Work Manufacturing) for structural and marine components, 562910 (Remediation Services) for environmental cleanup, 541370 (Surveying and Mapping Services) for hydrographic and geospatial support, 424710 (Petroleum Bulk Stations and Terminals) for fuel logistics, and 812990 (All Other Personal Services) for specialized technical staffing. This technical alignment underscores his expertise in acquiring mission-critical goods and services that directly enable Coast Guard readiness and environmental stewardship.
