Jon M. Gofus

Jon Gofus serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing complex acquisitions in technical and specialized service domains. Though his formal title is not listed, his contracting patterns indicate a central role in executing strategic procurements aligned with agency operational needs, particularly in engineering and maritime manufacturing sectors. He handles full lifecycle contract actions—from solicitation through award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while prioritizing technical excellence and mission readiness. His work directly supports the acquisition of mission-critical engineering solutions and specialized vessel systems, positioning him as a key liaison between technical stakeholders and vendor communities. Gofus maintains a broad network of contractors specializing in engineering services and boat building, engaging both large prime contractors and niche specialty firms with proven technical capabilities. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and clear statement of work development, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in reliability, innovation, and regulatory adherence. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, his selections consistently reflect a preference for firms with demonstrated expertise in systems integration, structural design, and marine propulsion technologies. His contracting activity shows a 100% preference for non-set-aside procurements, indicating a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides. This suggests a mission-driven approach prioritizing technical qualifications and capability over socioeconomic criteria, though it does not preclude small business participation when vendors meet stringent performance standards. Gofus’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), where he acquires civil, mechanical, and systems engineering support, and NAICS 336612 (Boat Building), where he procures custom-designed vessels and maritime systems. His domain expertise spans technical specifications for infrastructure support, marine safety systems, and advanced fabrication, reflecting deep familiarity with defense, transportation, or coastal infrastructure missions.
