Louis Simione

Louis Simione serves as a key procurement lead within U.S. Coast Guard Base Miami (70Z028), overseeing facility maintenance, infrastructure modernization, and maritime support contracts critical to operational readiness. Responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle for base-wide construction and repair services, he ensures alignment with DHS mission priorities, including aging facility sustainment, vessel maintenance support, and environmental compliance. His acquisitions primarily involve civil works, facility upgrades, and specialized marine infrastructure services, requiring deep technical understanding of maritime facility standards and federal construction codes. Simione maintains consistent partnerships with a core group of contractors specializing in maritime and facility services, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, PHOENIX MARINE LLC, and ATZ SOLUTION LLC, with whom he collaborates on complex, multi-phase projects. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and long-term vendor reliability, fostering stable relationships with firms possessing proven expertise in marine construction, drywall and insulation systems, and flooring installations. Commercial BLUE INC and VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER are also engaged for niche support services, reflecting a balanced mix of generalist and specialized vendor engagement. His contracting portfolio reflects a strong, deliberate commitment to small business participation, with 93.3% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern underscores a strategic emphasis on socioeconomic inclusion, prioritizing small, locally based contractors capable of delivering timely, high-quality facility services in the South Florida maritime environment. His approach aligns with federal goals to expand opportunities for small businesses while ensuring mission-critical performance standards. Simione’s technical focus centers on NAICS 238310 (Drywall and Insulation Contractors) and 238330 (Flooring Contractors), each accounting for one-third of his acquisitions, alongside 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing) for vessel support infrastructure. His domain expertise lies in integrating commercial construction practices with Coast Guard-specific maritime facility requirements, ensuring durability, safety, and compliance in high-humidity, saltwater-exposed environments.
