Adam Sherer, LT, serves as a key procurement lead within U.S. Coast Guard Base Charleston, responsible for managing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain maritime infrastructure and operational readiness. He oversees the planning, solicitation, and award of contracts for facility maintenance, environmental control systems, and specialized support services essential to Coast Guard installations. His work directly supports the agency’s strategic imperative to ensure structural integrity, secure operational environments, and reliable facility functionality across the Coast Guard’s coastal footprint. Sherer typically handles service-based acquisitions under FAR Part 12 and Part 36, with a focus on performance-based contracting and long-term service agreements. Sherer maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including C&E Assets Management LLC, Diesel Power Solutions LLC, Horizon Federal Management LLC, and Dor-Mor, Inc., all of whom specialize in HVAC systems, mechanical maintenance, and integrated facilities support. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven technical expertise in Coast Guard-specific operational environments, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in reliability, compliance, and responsive service delivery. He prioritizes vendors capable of delivering rapid turnaround on emergency repairs and preventive maintenance across distributed shore facilities. Sherer’s contracting portfolio is entirely set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, reflecting a firm commitment to maximizing socioeconomic opportunities within the Coast Guard’s support ecosystem. All awards are structured to ensure full participation by small business concerns, with no large business set-asides or sole-source exceptions. This approach aligns with Department of Homeland Security directives to strengthen the small business industrial base while maintaining mission-critical readiness. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors) and NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), where he acquires specialized HVAC maintenance, building automation systems, janitorial services, and integrated facility operations. Sherer’s technical expertise centers on mission-critical environmental control systems, ensuring compliance with federal energy and safety standards across Coast Guard shore installations.
