Adam L. Nalewyko

Adam L. Nalewyko serves as the primary contracting lead for U.S. Coast Guard Base Cleveland (70Z030), responsible for managing the full lifecycle of facility infrastructure acquisitions across the Great Lakes region. His role centers on executing procurements that sustain, modernize, and secure Coast Guard operational sites, with a focus on mission-critical civil works and utility systems. Nalewyko oversees the planning, solicitation, award, and administration of construction and renovation contracts aligned with federal facility standards, ensuring compliance with environmental, safety, and resilience requirements. He is instrumental in translating mission needs into actionable procurement strategies that support long-term infrastructure integrity. While specific contractor names are not publicly enumerated, Nalewyko maintains consistent partnerships with qualified construction firms specializing in water and sewer infrastructure, including those with expertise in stormwater management, pipeline rehabilitation, and underground utility upgrades. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for vendors with proven experience in federal environmental compliance, geotechnical construction, and facility sustainment within sensitive coastal and maritime environments. He fosters collaborative relationships with contractors who demonstrate technical proficiency in complex civil works and adherence to federal construction codes. Nalewyko exhibits a strong, unwavering commitment to small business participation, directing 100% of his procurements toward total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to empower local and regional small businesses, including those certified as 8(a), HUBZone, or service-disabled veteran-owned, to compete for and execute critical infrastructure projects. His socioeconomic contracting patterns prioritize equitable access and capacity-building within the small business community, reinforcing the Coast Guard’s broader goals of economic inclusion and regional resilience. His primary technical domain is NAICS 237110—Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction—where he specializes in procuring services for potable water distribution, sanitary sewer rehabilitation, stormwater detention systems, and related civil infrastructure. Nalewyko’s expertise lies in managing complex, code-compliant projects that integrate environmental remediation, erosion control, and utility redundancy to support Coast Guard operational continuity in high-humidity, freeze-thaw, and flood-prone Great Lakes environments.
