Joshua A. Janney

Joshua A. Janney serves as a key procurement lead within the U.S. Coast Guard’s Headquarters Contract Operations (CG-912), where he manages strategic acquisitions critical to national maritime security and operational readiness. He specializes in the acquisition of specialized vessel construction, maritime domain awareness systems, and technical services that sustain and modernize the Coast Guard’s fleet and surveillance capabilities. His portfolio centers on complex, mission-critical contracts requiring deep technical oversight, often involving shipyard modernization, advanced sensor integration, and mission-critical training systems. Janney ensures alignment between acquisition strategy and the Coast Guard’s priorities in coastal patrol, search and detection, and force modernization. Janney maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of prime contractors, including Bollinger Shipyards Lockport, L.L.C., Davie Defense Inc., Rauma Marine Constructions Oy, and Rozema’s Boat Works, Inc., all of which possess specialized expertise in naval architecture, vessel fabrication, and maritime systems integration. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in proven technical capability and delivery reliability, particularly for high-complexity shipbuilding and retrofit programs. He prioritizes contractors with demonstrated experience in U.S. Coast Guard-specific operational requirements and regulatory compliance. Janney’s contracting activity reflects a strict preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside conditions. This indicates a deliberate focus on selecting the most technically qualified offerors regardless of socioeconomic status, consistent with the complexity and scale of the Coast Guard’s maritime acquisition needs. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in his portfolio, all procurements adhere to federal acquisition regulations and competitive fairness standards. His primary procurement focus is under NAICS 611430, Professional and Management Development Training, reflecting a strong emphasis on acquiring advanced operational training systems, simulation platforms, and workforce development programs essential for crew proficiency in modern maritime technologies. This specialization underscores his expertise in bridging technical acquisition with human performance readiness in high-stakes maritime environments.
