Benjamin Brostowicz

Benjamin Brostowicz serves as a key procurement lead at U.S. Coast Guard Base Los Angeles/Long Beach (70Z037), supporting the agency’s mission to sustain maritime homeland security operations through strategic acquisitions of critical infrastructure and operational assets. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on facility modernization, shipyard maintenance, and security systems integration, ensuring the base’s physical and technical readiness for high-priority maritime missions. His work directly enables the reliability of vessels, utilities, and secure facilities across Southern California’s strategic waterfront infrastructure, aligning procurement decisions with DHS and Coast Guard operational priorities. Brostowicz cultivates partnerships with a broad spectrum of vendors, particularly those specializing in industrial maintenance, metal fabrication, and environmental systems. He engages with both large-scale contractors and small businesses capable of delivering specialized services such as plumbing, HVAC, and ship repair, fostering collaborative relationships grounded in compliance, performance, and timely delivery. His contracting approach emphasizes vendor reliability and technical capability over scale, encouraging responsive, mission-aligned solutions tailored to the unique demands of a dynamic coastal operations base. His procurement strategy reflects a strong commitment to socioeconomic diversity, with 60% of acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5 and an additional 20% competed under the 8(a) program. This deliberate focus ensures meaningful participation from disadvantaged and small business concerns, reinforcing federal goals for equitable contracting while maintaining high standards of quality and accountability. His patterns consistently prioritize certified small businesses, particularly those with niche expertise in industrial services and infrastructure support. Brostowicz’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 336611 (shipbuilding and repair), 238220 (plumbing and HVAC), 332311 (prefabricated metal buildings), 423990 (miscellaneous durable goods wholesale), and 812332 (industrial laundering). These reflect his technical domain expertise in maritime infrastructure, facility systems, and operational support services. He routinely procures custom-engineered components, industrial maintenance packages, and mission-critical utility systems, demonstrating deep familiarity with the technical specifications and regulatory requirements governing Coast Guard operational assets.
