Rolf Jacobson

Rolf Jacobson serves as the primary procurement lead at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard IMF, overseeing critical acquisitions that sustain the readiness of the U.S. Navy’s fleet. In this role, he manages a diverse portfolio of industrial and technical contracts focused on ship repair, maintenance, and precision system overhauls, ensuring alignment with the Department of the Navy’s lifecycle management objectives. His acquisitions span industrial maintenance, electronic systems, and specialized manufacturing services essential to naval vessel availability and operational continuity. Jacobson’s work directly supports the shipyard’s mission to deliver high-integrity, mission-critical repairs and upgrades under stringent defense standards. He maintains consistent partnerships with key vendors including LAKE UNION DRYDOCK CO, SUNBELT RENTALS, INC, FLUKE ELECTRONICS CORP, PAULEY RODINE INC, and MOTIVE POWER MARINE, LLC, reflecting a preference for established industrial service providers with proven expertise in marine systems, precision instrumentation, and heavy equipment support. His contracting patterns emphasize reliability, technical specificity, and long-term vendor performance, fostering stable relationships with contractors capable of meeting the shipyard’s demanding quality and schedule requirements. Jacobson demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of his acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, alongside a notable 5.4% allocation to Women-Owned Small Businesses. While the majority of procurements remain open, his strategic use of socioeconomic set-asides reflects a deliberate effort to broaden vendor diversity and enhance industrial base resilience within the defense supply chain. His procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 811210 (electronic and precision equipment repair), 335932 (noncurrent-carrying wiring devices), 332911 (industrial valves), and 332439 (metal containers), indicating deep technical engagement with naval electrical systems, fluid control components, and specialized fabrication. This specialization underscores his expertise in procuring mission-critical industrial components and maintenance services essential to the operational integrity of naval vessels.
