Joshua Lewis

Joshua T. Lewis serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Coast Guard’s SFLC Procurement Branch 2 (70Z085), responsible for managing complex acquisitions to sustain and modernize the Coast Guard’s fleet of cutters and maritime vessels. His work directly supports the agency’s mission of ensuring operational readiness across coastal, offshore, and open-ocean domains by overseeing contracts for shipbuilding, repair, maintenance, and integrated naval infrastructure upgrades. He handles a broad spectrum of acquisition types, including firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contracts, with a focus on lifecycle management of naval assets and the integration of mission-critical systems. Lewis maintains consistent procurement relationships with leading industrial and marine contractors, including ROLLS-ROYCE SOLUTIONS AMERICA INC, VIGOR MARINE LLC, JAG INDUSTRIAL SERVICES, INC, G I INDUSTRIAL-MARINE, LLC, and L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED. These partnerships reflect a preference for established defense and maritime industrial base vendors with proven expertise in vessel construction, propulsion systems, and heavy marine fabrication. His contracting patterns emphasize technical compliance, quality assurance, and delivery timelines critical to maintaining fleet availability and mission continuity. Lewis’s procurement portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on leveraging the broadest possible industrial capacity to meet urgent operational requirements, prioritizing technical capability and schedule reliability over socioeconomic classifications. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), with significant activity also in urethane foam manufacturing for marine insulation, custom computer programming for vessel systems, and petroleum product wholesale for logistical support. This underscores deep technical expertise in naval engineering, marine systems integration, and supply chain logistics for maritime operations.
