Jose Sermini

Jose Sermini serves as a MKC (Military Contracting Officer) within the U.S. Coast Guard’s LOG-9 organization (Code: 70Z084), where he leads the acquisition and lifecycle management of critical environmental and facility support systems essential to shore-based and maritime operational readiness. His portfolio centers on procuring specialized heating, ventilation, and refrigeration equipment that ensures habitability, safety, and mission continuity across Coast Guard facilities nationwide. Sermini applies rigorous FAR compliance and strategic sourcing practices to deliver reliable, energy-efficient climate control solutions that align with federal sustainability mandates and operational resilience requirements. He maintains enduring partnerships with a select group of industry leaders including GILMAN CORPORATION THE, FRONTLINE ENTERPRISES LLC, ISN ALLIANCE LLC, S3 SOLUTIONS ONE LLC, and FAZTEC INDUSTRIES INC, all of whom specialize in commercial and industrial refrigeration, HVAC integration, and precision environmental control systems. Sermini fosters collaborative vendor relationships grounded in technical precision, performance-based contracting, and post-award oversight, ensuring delivered systems meet stringent Coast Guard operational and safety standards. Sermini’s procurement strategy is fully aligned with small business socioeconomic goals, as all his acquisitions are structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. He consistently prioritizes small business participation, enabling qualified firms to compete for high-impact contracts without large business competition, thereby strengthening the Coast Guard’s commitment to equitable economic opportunity and workforce development within the defense industrial base. His technical domain is exclusively focused on NAICS 333415, encompassing the procurement of air-conditioning, warm air heating, and commercial/industrial refrigeration equipment. This specialization requires deep familiarity with ASHRAE standards, refrigerant compliance, modular system integration, and energy performance metrics. Sermini’s expertise ensures that all procured systems are engineered for durability in harsh maritime environments and support the Coast Guard’s mission-critical infrastructure needs.
