Jimmy L. Greenlee

Jimmy Greenlee serves as the Base Operations Support Officer (BOSN) at U.S. Coast Guard Base New Orleans (70Z029), where he leads the acquisition and management of critical infrastructure support services essential to operational readiness. In this role, he oversees the full lifecycle of procurement activities for facility maintenance, utility systems, and maritime infrastructure modernization, ensuring alignment with federal building standards and coastal resilience goals. His acquisitions primarily support the sustainment of shore-based assets, including building systems, environmental controls, and mission-critical physical infrastructure, making him a key enabler of the Coast Guard’s maritime safety and security mission. Greenlee’s contracting patterns reflect a preference for direct, non-set-aside procurements, with 100% of his awards structured as full and open competitions. He maintains collaborative relationships with a range of industrial contractors specializing in shipyard support, marine-grade fabric production, and heavy-duty textile manufacturing. While no single vendor dominates his portfolio, he routinely engages firms with proven expertise in naval infrastructure supply chains, particularly those capable of delivering durable, salt-resistant materials and custom-fabricated components under strict military specifications. His contracting approach prioritizes technical capability over socioeconomic set-asides, with no formal preference for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This reflects the specialized nature of his requirements, where performance and material integrity take precedence over socioeconomic criteria. Nevertheless, he remains open to qualified small businesses that demonstrate technical proficiency in his core NAICS domains. Greenlee’s procurement focus is concentrated in shipbuilding and repair (NAICS 336611), with significant activity in textile bag and canvas manufacturing (314910), rope and cordage production (314994), and cut-and-sew apparel contracting (315210). These categories support the fabrication of maritime gear, protective covers, rigging systems, and uniform components essential to Coast Guard personnel and vessel operations. His expertise lies in sourcing high-performance, weather-resistant materials engineered for harsh maritime environments.
