Jude J Rubrico

Jude J. Rubrico serves as a Contract Specialist within the SFLC Procurement Branch 2 (70Z085) of the U.S. Coast Guard, part of the Department of Homeland Security. In this role, he manages the full lifecycle of acquisition activities critical to sustaining and modernizing the Coast Guard’s fleet of cutters and maritime vessels. His responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, awarding, and administering contracts for shipbuilding, repair, maintenance, and related naval infrastructure services. Rubrico’s work directly supports operational readiness across coastal, offshore, and open-ocean missions by ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical maritime assets under the Federal Acquisition Regulation framework. Rubrico maintains consistent working relationships with key industrial partners including Rolls-Royce Solutions America Inc., Vigor Marine LLC, JAG Industrial Services, Inc., G I Industrial-Marine, LLC, and L1 Enterprises Incorporated. These contractors provide specialized engineering, fabrication, propulsion system integration, and vessel maintenance services essential to naval fleet sustainment. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical compliance, and performance-based contract management to ensure adherence to Coast Guard maritime standards and quality assurance protocols. Rubrico’s contracting portfolio reflects a strong emphasis on socioeconomic diversity, with 35.7% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, he actively prioritizes small business participation, particularly among firms capable of delivering complex marine industrial services. His patterns demonstrate a deliberate effort to foster competition and capacity-building within the small business industrial base supporting national maritime security. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), accounting for 92.9% of his activity, with secondary emphasis on NAICS 333618 (Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing). He specializes in procuring heavy marine fabrication, hull modifications, propulsion system upgrades, and integrated marine systems, demonstrating deep technical expertise in naval architecture and shipyard operations.
