Brent Kupfer

Brent Kupfer serves as a key procurement professional within Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Southeast (NAVFACSE), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to deliver resilient, mission-critical infrastructure across the Southeastern U.S. and overseas operational areas. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on environmental remediation, engineering services, and base operations support, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and strategic readiness goals. His work directly enables the construction, maintenance, and sustainment of naval facilities through complex, performance-based contracting vehicles, including indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and cost-reimbursement contracts. Kupfer maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of established federal contractors, including BL Harbert International LLC, Walsh Federal LLC, Sauer Construction, LLC, McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, and Kira Aviation Services LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, full-service firms capable of delivering integrated solutions in construction, environmental remediation, and aviation support services. His contracting approach emphasizes performance outcomes, risk mitigation, and contractor accountability, often leveraging design-build and construction management-at-risk delivery methods. His procurement patterns show a strong inclination toward 8(a) competed set-asides, accounting for over 30% of awards, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting and small business development. While the majority of acquisitions are open to all competitors, Kupfer actively prioritizes opportunities for small disadvantaged businesses, aligning with NAVFAC’s broader diversity and inclusion objectives. His technical focus centers on NAICS 562910 (Remediation Services), which dominates his portfolio, followed by engineering services (541330) and environmental consulting (541620). He specializes in procuring hazardous waste removal, soil and groundwater remediation, environmental site assessments, and technical services supporting compliance with RCRA, CERCLA, and NEPA requirements, reflecting deep expertise in environmental compliance and infrastructure resilience.
