Jonathan F. Iverson serves as a Purchasing Agent for the SFLC Procurement Branch 2 (70Z085) within the U.S. Coast Guard, where he plays a pivotal role in executing acquisitions critical to the sustainment and modernization of the Coast Guard’s fleet of cutters and maritime vessels. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement activities, Iverson handles complex contracts for shipbuilding, repair, maintenance, and related industrial services that directly support operational readiness across coastal and open-ocean missions. His work ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning with the agency’s strategic priorities in naval infrastructure resilience and technological integration. Iverson maintains consistent partnerships with key industrial contractors including ROLLS-ROYCE SOLUTIONS AMERICA INC, VIGOR MARINE LLC, JAG INDUSTRIAL SERVICES, INC, G I INDUSTRIAL-MARINE, LLC, and L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED. These relationships are built on long-term collaboration in marine engineering, vessel overhaul, and specialized fabrication services. His procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, technical expertise in maritime systems, and performance-based contracting to ensure mission-critical deliverables meet stringent Coast Guard standards. A strong advocate for small business participation, Iverson prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with over 81% of his acquisitions structured to support small business growth. This reflects a deliberate socioeconomic strategy to foster competition and capability development among qualified small vendors in the maritime industrial base, reinforcing the Coast Guard’s commitment to equitable contracting. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), complemented by significant activity in 332999 (Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Products) and 332911 (Industrial Valve Manufacturing). He routinely acquires engineered marine components, structural steel fabrications, and vessel maintenance services, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with naval architecture, corrosion control, and marine propulsion systems.
