Jessica A Griffin

Jessica A. Griffin serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Coast Guard’s Headquarters Contract Operations (CG-912), where she supports the strategic acquisition of maritime, aerospace, and technical services critical to national security and operational readiness. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle management of contracts for vessel construction, modernization, and mission-critical systems, ensuring alignment with the Coast Guard’s priorities in coastal patrol, maritime domain awareness, and fleet sustainment. She specializes in complex, high-stakes acquisitions involving specialized shipbuilding and advanced detection technologies, working closely with program managers and technical evaluators to deliver mission-capable capabilities on schedule. Griffin maintains long-standing relationships with primary shipyard contractors including Bollinger Shipyards Lockport, L.L.C., Davie Defense Inc., Rauma Marine Constructions Oy, and Rozema’s Boat Works, Inc., reflecting a preference for experienced, niche vendors with proven expertise in custom maritime platforms. Her contracting patterns emphasize performance-based outcomes and technical compliance over price alone, fostering collaborative, mission-aligned partnerships with vendors capable of delivering specialized vessel systems and integrated sensor suites. She does not utilize socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of her acquisitions awarded under full and open competition, indicating a focus on technical capability and industrial capacity over socioeconomic preferences. This approach prioritizes mission necessity and vendor reliability in a highly specialized market with limited qualified suppliers. Her procurement activity is exclusively classified under NAICS 813920 (Professional Organizations), indicating a focus on contract services related to technical oversight, program management, and specialized maritime engineering support rather than direct product procurement. This reflects deep expertise in managing complex, service-based contracts for maritime systems integration, fleet sustainment planning, and advanced coastal surveillance infrastructure.
