Mia R Robinson

Mia R. Robinson serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Coast Guard’s SFLC Procurement Branch 1 (70Z080), responsible for managing complex acquisitions to sustain and modernize the Coast Guard’s fleet of cutters and maritime assets. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission of ensuring operational readiness across coastal, offshore, and open-ocean missions by overseeing shipbuilding, repair, and maintenance contracts. She handles a high-volume portfolio of naval vessel procurement actions, including dry dock overhauls, propulsion system upgrades, and structural refurbishments, utilizing full and open competition alongside targeted set-asides to meet statutory and strategic objectives. Robinson maintains longstanding relationships with core industrial partners including Fairbanks Morse, LLC, Bay Ship & Yacht Co., Thoma-Sea Marine Constructors, L.L.C., Automatic Coating Limited USA, and Technico Corporation. These vendors are recognized for their specialized capabilities in naval architecture, marine fabrication, and corrosion protection systems. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and long-term vendor collaboration, often leveraging past performance and technical expertise to ensure mission-critical vessel reliability and lifecycle extension. Her procurement strategy reflects a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly 41% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and an additional 15% reserved for HUBZone firms. While the majority of contracts remain open to all competitors, she consistently prioritizes socioeconomic programs to foster industry diversity and regional economic resilience within the maritime industrial base. Robinson’s expertise is concentrated in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), which accounts for over 90% of her portfolio. She specializes in procuring heavy marine fabrication, hull and machinery repairs, marine coating systems, and integrated propulsion upgrades. Her technical domain knowledge spans naval vessel life-cycle management, dry-dock scheduling, and compliance with U.S. Navy and Coast Guard shipbuilding standards, ensuring acquisitions align with rigorous maritime safety and operational requirements.
