John Hammett

John Hammett serves as a key procurement lead within the U.S. Coast Guard’s SFLC Procurement Branch 2 (70Z085), overseeing the acquisition of shipbuilding, repair, and maintenance services critical to sustaining the Coast Guard’s fleet of cutters and maritime vessels. His work directly supports the agency’s mission of ensuring operational readiness across coastal, offshore, and open-ocean domains through lifecycle management of naval infrastructure. Hammett specializes in managing full-spectrum contracts under NAICS 336611, handling complex procurements for vessel modernization, dry-docking, propulsion system upgrades, and hull integrity repairs, often involving technical specifications aligned with Navy and Coast Guard engineering standards. He maintains enduring relationships with a select group of qualified shipyard and industrial marine contractors, including ROLLS-ROYCE SOLUTIONS AMERICA INC, VIGOR MARINE LLC, JAG INDUSTRIAL SERVICES, INC, G I INDUSTRIAL-MARINE, LLC, and L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED. These partnerships are characterized by long-term performance reliability, deep expertise in naval vessel systems, and consistent compliance with maritime safety and environmental regulations. Hammett’s contracting approach emphasizes contractor accountability, technical proficiency, and on-time delivery of mission-critical maintenance and overhaul services. Hammett demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, with 100% of his procurements structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. All contracts are awarded exclusively to small business concerns, fostering economic opportunity within the maritime industrial base and ensuring broad access for qualified firms without large business eligibility. His procurement patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to cultivate a resilient, diverse supplier network capable of meeting the Coast Guard’s specialized technical demands. His primary technical focus lies in NAICS 336611, encompassing all phases of shipbuilding and repair, including structural fabrication, mechanical systems integration, electrical retrofits, and corrosion control. He procures specialized marine services such as dry-dock operations, propulsion system overhauls, hull coating applications, and modular component replacements, requiring deep domain knowledge in naval architecture and maritime engineering standards.
