Mr. Tom Jewett

Mr. Tom Jewett serves as a key procurement lead at U.S. Coast Guard Base Portsmouth (70Z027), responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain mission-critical infrastructure including barracks, stations, and logistics facilities. He oversees contracts for construction, maintenance, environmental remediation, and facility modernization services, ensuring compliance with federal safety, sustainability, and operational standards. His role is central to the base’s mission of maintaining infrastructure resilience and readiness, with a focus on timely, compliant, and efficient contract execution across a diverse range of support services. Jewett maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, including A TO B CREATIONS INC, PARLIAMENT LLC, DOORS ON DEMAND, LLC, SANDOW CONSTRUCTION INC, and VISION CONTRACTING INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with proven expertise in facility upgrades, specialty construction, and support services tailored to federal maritime installations. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory adherence, and performance accountability, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in past performance and compliance history. He demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with over two-thirds of his awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and nearly one-third awarded through 8(a) competed pathways. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to maximize opportunities for small disadvantaged businesses while maintaining competitive rigor and mission alignment. His procurement decisions consistently prioritize small business participation as a core component of equitable contracting and community economic development. Jewett’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 424720 (petroleum and petroleum products merchant wholesalers) and 561990 (all other support services), reflecting a dual emphasis on fuel logistics and facility support functions critical to Coast Guard operations. He routinely procures hazardous material handling services, environmental compliance solutions, and specialized maintenance supplies, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with the unique operational demands of maritime infrastructure. His expertise ensures that procurement activities directly enable mission continuity and regulatory compliance across the base’s physical footprint.
