SK2 Jorge Carrillo

SK2 Jorge Carrillo serves as a key procurement lead at U.S. Coast Guard Base Miami (70Z028), responsible for managing facility infrastructure contracts that sustain the operational readiness of maritime assets. His role centers on executing acquisition strategies aligned with the Base’s mission to maintain and modernize critical mechanical, plumbing, and environmental systems supporting vessel maintenance, base operations, and national security missions. Carrillo specializes in design-build and service-based acquisitions for facility upgrades, with a focus on lifecycle maintenance and resilience improvements for aging infrastructure. He ensures compliance with federal contracting regulations while prioritizing mission-critical timelines and technical specifications for maritime environments. Carrillo maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, PHOENIX MARINE LLC, ATZ SOLUTION LLC, and COMMERCIAL BLUE INC, all of which provide expertise in marine infrastructure, HVAC, and plumbing systems. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships with firms possessing proven experience in federal maritime facilities, often selecting contractors with prior performance on Coast Guard or DHS installations. These relationships are built on technical competence, adherence to safety standards, and reliability in high-humidity, saltwater-exposed environments. Carrillo’s contracting portfolio reflects a 100% Small Business Set-Aside preference under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a strong institutional commitment to socioeconomic programs that empower small businesses. He consistently directs awards to small business concerns, including those certified as 8(a), HUBZone, or service-disabled veteran-owned, aligning with Department of Homeland Security mandates to increase equitable access to federal contracting opportunities. His pattern of set-asides reinforces the agency’s broader goal of fostering a resilient, diverse supplier base capable of supporting mission-critical infrastructure needs. His primary technical focus lies in NAICS 238220—Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors—where he procures specialized services for HVAC replacement, chilled water systems, sanitary plumbing, and climate control upgrades in marine facilities. Carrillo’s expertise ensures that all acquisitions meet stringent Coast Guard engineering standards for durability, corrosion resistance, and energy efficiency in coastal and maritime settings.
