Mitchell Robison

Mitchell Robison serves as an SK1 Contracting Officer within the U.S. Coast Guard’s SFLC Procurement Branch 3, where he plays a critical role in executing acquisitions that sustain and modernize the Coast Guard’s maritime fleet and operational infrastructure. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle procurement of shipbuilding, repair, and maintenance services, as well as specialized marine equipment systems. Robison manages complex contracts aligned with the Coast Guard’s mission to ensure vessel readiness, safety, and endurance, focusing on technical domains requiring rigorous engineering and maritime regulatory compliance. He routinely handles competitive and non-competitive solicitations under FAR Part 13 and Part 15, prioritizing mission-critical capabilities that support cutter modernization and infrastructure resilience. Robison maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized marine and industrial contractors, including Philadelphia Electrical Equipment Co., JDCI Enterprises, Inc., ALS Services USA, Corp., Cabras Marine Corporation, and Bay Marine Boatworks, Inc. These vendors provide essential services ranging from vessel repair and electrical system integration to marine crane and turbine maintenance. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical proficiency, quality assurance, and on-time delivery, particularly for mission-essential maintenance and retrofits that require deep maritime domain expertise. His contracting portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 85.7% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, indicating a focus on capability over socioeconomic classification. However, he maintains a measurable commitment to small business participation, with 14.3% of awards directed under Total Small Business Set-Asides, consistent with FAR 19.5 guidelines and aligned with Coast Guard goals for broad vendor engagement. Robison’s technical focus centers on NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing) and 333923 (Overhead Traveling Crane, Hoist, and Monorail System Manufacturing), each accounting for 28.6% of his portfolio. He also regularly procures turbine systems (333611), engine equipment (333618), and commercial machinery repair services (811310), demonstrating deep expertise in marine propulsion, lifting systems, and industrial maintenance—critical components for sustaining the Coast Guard’s aging fleet and shore-based infrastructure.
