Alberta Galek

Alberta Galek serves as a key procurement lead within the SFLC Procurement Branch 3 (70Z040) of the U.S. Coast Guard, overseeing the acquisition of specialized maritime maintenance, repair, and manufacturing services critical to sustaining the Coast Guard’s fleet readiness. Responsible for end-to-end contract execution, Galek manages complex solicitations for vessel systems, marine equipment, and auxiliary infrastructure, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and operational requirements. Her work directly supports the Coast Guard’s mission to maintain operational endurance through lifecycle management of cutters and watercraft, with a focus on mission-critical repairs and modernization initiatives. Galek maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of specialized marine vendors, including Philadelphia Electrical Equipment Co., JDCI Enterprises, Inc., ALS Services USA, Corp., Cabras Marine Corporation, and Bay Marine Boatworks, Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for contractors with proven expertise in marine electrical systems, vessel repair, and custom fabrication. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical capability, quality assurance, and on-time delivery, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in performance history and regulatory compliance. Galek’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on sourcing the most technically qualified vendors regardless of socioeconomic status, prioritizing mission necessity and operational reliability over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, all awards are awarded through transparent, merit-based evaluations aligned with federal acquisition standards. Her primary focus lies within NAICS 339999 (All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing), indicating a specialization in custom-engineered marine components, non-standard vessel parts, and mission-specific equipment not covered by broader manufacturing categories. This domain requires deep technical understanding of marine systems integration, corrosion-resistant materials, and Coast Guard-specific safety and performance standards, positioning Galek as a subject matter expert in niche maritime manufacturing procurement.
