Jesse Blakeway

Jesse Blakeway serves as a key procurement lead within the 9th Coast Guard District Office, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain critical maritime infrastructure and operational readiness. Focused on maintaining vessel storage facilities, HVAC systems, electrical networks, and mission-critical support infrastructure, Blakeway ensures that contracting activities align with the agency’s mission to uphold maritime safety and environmental stewardship. Their procurement portfolio is centered on service-based contracts that preserve the functionality and resilience of Coast Guard facilities across inland and coastal waterways, with an emphasis on long-term operational sustainability and compliance with federal facility standards. Blakeway maintains collaborative relationships with a broad base of service providers specializing in facility maintenance, grounds management, and infrastructure support. While no specific contractor names are publicly identified, their contracting patterns reflect consistent engagement with regional and national vendors capable of delivering routine and emergency maintenance services under performance-based specifications. The working relationship model prioritizes reliability, responsiveness, and adherence to federal facility management protocols, often utilizing task-order contracts to ensure agile support across multiple locations. Blakeway’s procurement strategy reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of awards issued under non-set-aside categories. This indicates a focus on selecting the most qualified and cost-effective providers regardless of socioeconomic designation, though small business participation may still occur organically through competitive bidding. There is no formal preference for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, suggesting a merit-based acquisition approach aligned with operational urgency and technical requirements. The agency’s procurement activity is overwhelmingly concentrated in NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services), reflecting a critical need for groundskeeping, vegetation management, erosion control, and environmental compliance around Coast Guard facilities. Blakeway’s expertise lies in procuring comprehensive landscape and grounds maintenance services that support both aesthetic standards and ecological resilience, ensuring that facility perimeters, access roads, and waterfront buffers remain operational and compliant with federal environmental regulations.
