Joseph Jenkins

Joseph Jenkins serves as a procurement specialist within the SFLC Procurement Branch 3 (00040) of the U.S. Coast Guard, responsible for managing acquisitions critical to sustaining and modernizing the Coast Guard’s maritime fleet. He oversees contract actions related to vessel repair, maintenance, and lifecycle support, ensuring operational readiness through timely and compliant procurement of shipbuilding and marine infrastructure services. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to maintain a safe, secure, and enduring fleet by aligning acquisition strategies with long-term vessel sustainment goals and regulatory frameworks under FAR Part 19 and Title 46. Jenkins maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized marine contractors, including Philadelphia Electrical Equipment Co., JDCI Enterprises, Inc., ALS Services USA, Corp., Cabras Marine Corporation, and Bay Marine Boatworks, Inc. These partnerships reflect a focus on niche maritime capabilities—ranging from electrical systems integration to dry-dock repairs and vessel refits. His procurement approach emphasizes proven performance, technical proficiency in marine systems, and reliability in delivering mission-critical services under demanding operational timelines. His contracting portfolio demonstrates a strong preference for small business participation, with approximately two-thirds of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate capacity within the small business industrial base, particularly among firms with demonstrated expertise in shipyard operations and marine maintenance. While no set-asides are also utilized, they typically support complex, non-competitive requirements where specialized capabilities are limited. The majority of his acquisitions fall under NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), indicating deep specialization in vessel maintenance, structural refurbishment, and propulsion system upgrades. A secondary focus on NAICS 562998 (All Other Miscellaneous Waste Management Services) suggests procurement of environmental compliance and hazardous material handling services integral to shipyard operations. His technical domain expertise lies at the intersection of naval architecture, regulatory compliance, and marine logistics.
