Shari A. Jackson-Humphrey serves as a Contract Specialist within the SFLC Procurement Branch 2 (70Z085) of the U.S. Coast Guard, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisition strategies to sustain and modernize the Coast Guard’s fleet of cutters and maritime vessels. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contracting activities—from market research and solicitation development to award administration and contract closeout—ensuring compliance with FAR and agency-specific regulations. She specializes in procuring shipbuilding, repair, and engineering services critical to maintaining operational readiness across coastal and open-ocean missions, frequently managing multi-year, performance-based contracts that integrate technical specifications with lifecycle cost considerations. Jackson-Humphrey maintains consistent working relationships with key industrial partners including ROLLS-ROYCE SOLUTIONS AMERICA INC, VIGOR MARINE LLC, JAG INDUSTRIAL SERVICES, INC, G I INDUSTRIAL-MARINE, LLC, and L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED. These partnerships reflect a balanced reliance on large, established shipyard and marine systems integrators alongside specialized industrial service providers with deep expertise in naval maintenance and propulsion systems. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical rigor, schedule reliability, and performance accountability across high-stakes maritime infrastructure projects. Her contracting portfolio reflects an even split between no set-aside and total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate and balanced commitment to small business participation without compromising mission-critical capability requirements. She actively leverages small business capabilities in ship repair, marine fabrication, and engineering support, ensuring broad vendor engagement while maintaining compliance with socioeconomic contracting objectives. Her primary NAICS focus is on 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing) and 541330 (Engineering Services), underscoring her deep expertise in naval architecture, vessel modernization, and technical engineering support. She routinely procures integrated systems for hull maintenance, propulsion upgrades, and mission-critical instrumentation, requiring close coordination with technical specialists and quality assurance teams to ensure compliance with Coast Guard maritime safety and environmental standards.
