Shauna M. Jones

Shauna M. Jones serves as a Contract Support specialist within the SFLC Procurement Branch 3 (70Z040) of the U.S. Coast Guard, part of the Department of Homeland Security. In this role, she provides critical administrative and procedural support for the acquisition of shipbuilding, maintenance, and vessel modernization services essential to sustaining the Coast Guard’s maritime fleet. Her responsibilities include preparing solicitation documents, managing contract documentation, coordinating with technical evaluators, and ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations. She plays a pivotal role in facilitating timely and compliant procurements that directly support operational readiness, lifecycle management, and infrastructure sustainment for Coast Guard cutters and auxiliary vessels. Jones maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized marine contractors, including Philadelphia Electrical Equipment Co., JDCI Enterprises, Inc., ALS Services USA, Corp., Cabras Marine Corporation, and Bay Marine Boatworks, Inc. These vendors provide critical services ranging from electrical system integration and hull repairs to marine maintenance and vessel refit operations. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-based partnerships with firms possessing proven expertise in naval architecture, marine systems, and Coast Guard-specific operational requirements. Her contracting approach reflects a balanced commitment to small business participation, with approximately half of her procurements structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, while the remainder are open to all competitors. This pattern demonstrates a deliberate effort to foster economic opportunity for small marine contractors while maintaining access to specialized capabilities. She actively supports socioeconomic goals by enabling small businesses to compete for mission-critical work without compromising operational needs. While NAICS data is not currently available, her acquisitions consistently focus on marine engineering, vessel repair, shipyard services, and maritime system integration—domains requiring deep technical knowledge of Coast Guard vessel platforms and federal maritime standards. Her expertise lies in navigating the complex intersection of defense procurement, marine infrastructure, and regulatory compliance.
