Stephanie L. Hoffman

Stephanie L. Hoffman serves as a key procurement professional within the SFLC Procurement Branch 2 (70Z085), part of the U.S. Coast Guard under the Department of Homeland Security. She manages complex acquisition programs focused on the construction, repair, and lifecycle sustainment of maritime vessels, ensuring operational readiness for coastal and open-ocean missions. Her responsibilities include planning, soliciting, awarding, and administering contracts for shipbuilding and maintenance services, aligning with the Coast Guard’s strategic modernization goals. Hoffman specializes in large-scale, technical acquisitions requiring stringent naval engineering standards and long-term logistics support, often coordinating with shipyards, marine systems integrators, and industrial maintenance providers to deliver mission-critical capabilities. She maintains consistent working relationships with industry leaders such as 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 preference for established shipbuilding and marine industrial contractors with proven expertise in naval vessel fabrication, propulsion system integration, and dry-dock maintenance. Hoffman’s procurement approach emphasizes technical compliance, performance-based contracting, and contractor accountability in high-stakes maritime environments. Her contracting activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on leveraging the broadest possible industrial base with specialized naval capabilities rather than prioritizing small business set-asides, despite the presence of qualified 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB vendors in the sector. Her primary procurement focus is exclusively under NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), encompassing new construction, mid-life refits, hull and machinery repairs, and propulsion system upgrades. She procures highly specialized marine systems, including steel fabrication, welding, electrical integration, and compliance with U.S. Navy and Coast Guard naval architecture standards, demonstrating deep expertise in naval industrial base operations.
