Marcelo Rolon serves as a Contracting Specialist Officer (CSO) at U.S. Coast Guard Base Miami (70Z028), where he oversees the acquisition of critical infrastructure and security services essential to maintaining operational readiness. His role centers on executing full-cycle procurement activities for facility sustainment, maritime asset support, and security systems modernization, ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations while aligning acquisitions with the Base’s mission to uphold national security, search and rescue, and port safety capabilities. Rolon manages a focused portfolio of service-based contracts, primarily in the domain of physical and electronic security infrastructure, with an emphasis on timely, mission-critical deliveries that support aging maritime facilities. Rolon maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, PHOENIX MARINE LLC, ATZ SOLUTION LLC, and COMMERCIAL BLUE INC, all of whom provide specialized expertise in facility maintenance, marine infrastructure support, and integrated security systems. These partnerships are characterized by long-term, performance-based engagements, often involving task orders under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles, reflecting a preference for proven vendors with demonstrated capability in Coast Guard-specific operational environments. Rolon’s procurement portfolio reflects a strict focus on open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This indicates a deliberate strategy to prioritize technical merit and full and open competition over socioeconomic set-asides, emphasizing capability and performance over vendor classification. His primary procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 561621 (Security Systems Services), encompassing the acquisition of electronic surveillance, access control, intrusion detection, and integrated security monitoring systems. Rolon’s expertise lies in procuring technical security solutions that enhance base resilience, protect critical maritime infrastructure, and ensure compliance with DHS and Coast Guard cybersecurity and physical security standards.
