Barbaralynn Peretti

Barbaralynn Peretti serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Coast Guard’s Base New Orleans (70Z029), supporting the agency’s mission to sustain and modernize critical shore-based infrastructure essential to maritime safety and environmental resilience. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on facility systems, including HVAC, building maintenance, data infrastructure, and environmental remediation services. Her work directly enables operational readiness by ensuring that Coast Guard facilities meet federal standards for reliability, energy efficiency, and hazard resilience, particularly in coastal environments vulnerable to extreme weather events. Peretti maintains strong working relationships with a broad spectrum of vendors, including small businesses specializing in commercial and industrial equipment repair, computing infrastructure services, and remediation solutions. While specific contractor names are not disclosed, her procurement patterns reflect consistent collaboration with firms capable of delivering technical services under complex federal compliance frameworks, including those with expertise in federal building codes and environmental regulations. Her contracting approach is heavily oriented toward small business participation, with 85.7% of her acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity and enhance local supply chain capacity, prioritizing firms certified as small, 8(a), HUBZone, or service-disabled veteran-owned businesses. Her commitment to socioeconomic goals aligns with broader Coast Guard objectives to build resilient, community-integrated procurement ecosystems. Peretti’s primary industry focus centers on NAICS codes 518210 for data and computing infrastructure, 811310 for industrial machinery maintenance, and 333415 for commercial HVAC and refrigeration systems. She routinely procures services and equipment related to building automation, climate control, and facility modernization, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with federal facility management standards and the operational demands of maritime infrastructure in high-humidity, salt-air environments.
