Victor D Young

Victor D. Young serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Coast Guard’s SFLC Procurement Branch 2 (70Z085), responsible for managing complex acquisitions in support of cutter fleet sustainment and maritime infrastructure modernization. His work directly enables operational readiness by overseeing contracts for vessel repair, maintenance, and industrial services critical to the Coast Guard’s lifecycle management strategy. He routinely handles performance-based, fixed-price, and cost-reimbursement contracts under FAR Part 16, with a focus on shipyard services, mechanical systems overhaul, and industrial marine maintenance. His acquisitions are strategically aligned with the Coast Guard’s mission to maintain a resilient, mission-capable fleet across coastal and open-ocean domains. Young maintains consistent contracting relationships with a core group of qualified 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 vendors provide specialized expertise in marine propulsion systems, dry-dock repairs, structural steel fabrication, and heavy machinery maintenance. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical capability, quality assurance, and performance history, ensuring reliable delivery of mission-critical services under demanding operational conditions. His contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 83.9% of awards issued without set-aside designations. The remaining 16.1% are awarded under Total Small Business Set-Asides, indicating a measured but intentional commitment to small business participation without compromising operational urgency or technical rigor. While socioeconomic set-asides are not the primary vehicle, he ensures small businesses are competitively positioned through fair and transparent solicitation practices. The overwhelming majority of his acquisitions fall under NAICS 811310, reflecting deep specialization in commercial and industrial machinery repair and maintenance for maritime applications. A small but critical portion supports shipbuilding and repair (NAICS 336611), underscoring his technical proficiency in naval architecture, hull integrity, and propulsion system overhauls. His domain expertise centers on sustaining aging vessel platforms through precision industrial services, ensuring compliance with Coast Guard engineering standards and maritime safety regulations.
