Kimberly Milewski

Kimberly A. Milewski serves as a Contracting Officer within the SFLC Procurement Branch 3 (00040) of the U.S. Coast Guard, part of the Department of Homeland Security. She plays a critical role in executing acquisitions that sustain and modernize the Coast Guard’s maritime fleet, overseeing contracts for vessel maintenance, repair, and operational infrastructure upgrades. Her portfolio emphasizes lifecycle management of cutters and related systems, with a focus on shipyard services, marine equipment, and technical support solutions essential to mission readiness. Milewski manages complex procurement actions under FAR and DFARS guidelines, ensuring compliance with federal standards while aligning acquisitions with the Coast Guard’s strategic operational objectives. Milewski maintains consistent working relationships with key 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 preference for specialized marine and industrial service providers with proven expertise in vessel repair, electrical systems, and marine fabrication. Her contracting patterns indicate a reliance on established vendors with deep technical capabilities in maritime environments, fostering long-term collaboration grounded in performance reliability and regulatory compliance. Her procurement strategy prioritizes small business participation, with 42.9% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and 7.1% awarded through 8(a) competed contracts. While half of her acquisitions remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of socioeconomic set-asides demonstrates a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and veteran-owned businesses within the maritime support sector. Milewski’s primary NAICS focus includes 333923 for overhead crane and hoist systems, 562998 for specialized waste management services, and 332312 for fabricated structural metal manufacturing. These reflect her technical domain expertise in marine infrastructure support, including vessel maintenance equipment, environmental compliance systems, and structural components critical to cutter readiness. Her procurement profile underscores a highly specialized focus on industrial and technical services underpinning the Coast Guard’s operational endurance.
