Jesus C. Yutig

Jesus C. Yutig serves as a Storekeeper within the SFLC Procurement Branch 1 (70Z080) of the U.S. Coast Guard, playing a critical logistical role in sustaining the agency’s maritime fleet. Responsible for inventory control, material receipt, storage, and distribution of spare parts and maintenance supplies, Yutig ensures operational readiness by enabling timely access to critical components for cutter repairs and vessel modernization. His work directly supports shipbuilding and repair initiatives under the Coast Guard’s lifecycle management mission, bridging procurement actions with field-level maintenance needs. He handles acquisitions of industrial hardware, marine systems components, and specialized coatings essential to vessel integrity and performance. Yutig maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Fairbanks Morse, LLC, Thoma-Sea Marine Constructors, L.L.C., and Bay Ship & Yacht Co., all of which provide specialized marine equipment, propulsion parts, and shipyard services. He also collaborates with Automatic Coating Limited USA and Technico Corporation for protective coatings and technical support systems. These partnerships reflect a reliance on experienced maritime industrial vendors with proven capabilities in naval maintenance and corrosion control, ensuring compliance with Coast Guard technical specifications and quality standards. His procurement patterns show a strong preference for small business participation, with 62.5% of acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity among qualified small vendors in the maritime supply chain, particularly those certified under SBA programs. The remaining 37.5% of procurements are open to all competitors, typically for specialized or sole-source items requiring niche expertise. Yutig’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), reflecting his core involvement in vessel sustainment. He also regularly procures hardware (332510) and industrial control devices (334519) used in propulsion and navigation systems. While NAICS 721110 appears in his portfolio, it likely relates to temporary lodging for maintenance crews during dry-dock periods. His domain expertise lies in maritime logistics, corrosion-resistant materials, and naval maintenance supply chains.
