Justin Wooldridge

Justin Wooldridge serves as a secondary procurement contact within the U.S. Coast Guard’s SFLC Procurement Branch 2 (70Z085), supporting the agency’s mission to sustain and modernize its fleet of cutters and maritime vessels. He assists in managing acquisition activities centered on shipbuilding, repair, and maintenance of critical naval infrastructure, ensuring operational readiness across coastal and open-ocean missions. His responsibilities include coordinating contract execution, evaluating technical requirements, and facilitating compliance with federal acquisition regulations for complex marine engineering projects. Wooldridge primarily supports large-scale, long-term vessel lifecycle contracts requiring specialized industrial expertise and rigorous quality assurance protocols. He maintains consistent working relationships with key 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 are predominantly with Tier 1 shipbuilders and marine industrial service providers capable of delivering specialized vessel repairs, propulsion system upgrades, and dry-dock maintenance services. His procurement pattern reflects a preference for established contractors with proven capabilities in naval shipyard operations and Coast Guard-specific compliance standards. Wooldridge’s contracting activity demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 88.2% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate a robust industrial base of qualified small vendors capable of supporting vessel maintenance and repair tasks, including those certified under HUBZone, SDVOSB, and WOSB programs. His work reinforces the Coast Guard’s broader socioeconomic goals by prioritizing access to niche marine service providers with specialized technical expertise. His procurement focus is overwhelmingly concentrated in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), accounting for 95.4% of activity, indicating deep specialization in naval vessel construction, overhaul, and system integration. He routinely procures services related to hull fabrication, propulsion system retrofits, electrical and navigation system upgrades, and corrosion control—technical domains requiring certified marine engineering and U.S. Coast Guard-approved work standards.
