Terri-Jo Jenkins

Terri-Jo Jenkins supports the SFLC Procurement Branch 2 (70Z085) within the U.S. Coast Guard, playing a pivotal role in managing the acquisition of shipbuilding, repair, and maintenance services critical to sustaining the Coast Guard’s fleet of cutters and maritime vessels. Her procurement activities center on lifecycle management of naval infrastructure, ensuring operational readiness for coastal, offshore, and open-ocean missions. She handles complex, high-stakes contracts under FAR Part 13 and Part 15, often involving technical specifications for vessel modernization, propulsion systems, and marine engineering services. Her work directly enables mission-critical readiness by aligning acquisition strategy with the Coast Guard’s long-term fleet sustainment goals. Jenkins 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 contractors provide specialized shipyard services, structural repairs, marine systems integration, and propulsion component maintenance. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, qualified vendors with proven experience in naval vessel fabrication and repair, often leveraging long-term agreements and performance-based contracts to ensure quality and schedule adherence. Her contracting portfolio is overwhelmingly focused on small business participation, with 91.1% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate and sustained commitment to expanding economic opportunity within the maritime industrial base, prioritizing small businesses with expertise in ship repair and marine systems. While 8(a) competed set-asides account for 2.5%, the overwhelming majority of awards are structured to maximize participation from general small businesses with relevant NAICS qualifications. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), which accounts for 87.2% of her acquisitions. She routinely procures services related to dry-docking, hull restoration, electrical and mechanical system overhauls, and marine component integration. Additional procurement activity includes specialized fluid power systems, navigation instrumentation, and engineering support services, demonstrating deep domain expertise in naval vessel sustainment and maritime infrastructure modernization.
