John Fimple serves as a key procurement lead for U.S. Coast Guard Base Miami (70Z028), overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure and facility support services essential to maintaining operational readiness. His responsibilities center on managing contracts for building exterior systems, structural repairs, and site development that sustain the agency’s maritime infrastructure. He ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the Base’s strategic priorities of modernizing aging facilities and enhancing resilience for national security, search and rescue, and port safety missions. Fimple specializes in construction-related acquisitions, consistently driving the procurement lifecycle from requirement development through contract award and administration. Fimple maintains strong, recurring relationships with a select group of contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, PHOENIX MARINE LLC, ATZ SOLUTION LLC, and COMMERCIAL BLUE INC, all of which provide specialized expertise in marine infrastructure and building envelope systems. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven experience in federal maritime environments, fostering long-term partnerships built on technical proficiency, reliability, and adherence to stringent safety and environmental standards. These collaborations are instrumental in delivering mission-critical facility upgrades under demanding operational constraints. Fimple demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, with 100% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This consistent application underscores a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity for small businesses within the construction and facility services sector, ensuring equitable access to federal contracting opportunities. His procurement approach prioritizes socioeconomic goals without compromising mission requirements, aligning with broader Department of Homeland Security objectives for inclusive contracting. His technical focus is exclusively on NAICS 238190—Other Foundation, Structure, and Building Exterior Contractors—reflecting deep expertise in exterior envelope systems, structural repairs, waterproofing, roofing, and marine-compatible construction. He procures services related to dock repairs, bulkhead reinforcement, facility modernization, and corrosion control, requiring specialized knowledge of saltwater exposure, coastal engineering standards, and federal facility compliance protocols.
