Brett E Lively

Brett E. Lively serves as a Storekeeper Second Class at the U.S. Coast Guard’s Tracen PETALUMA facility (70Z049), where he plays a critical role in the logistical sustainment of mission-critical infrastructure. Responsible for inventory control, material requisition, and supply chain coordination, Lively ensures that construction and maintenance projects are supported with timely access to specialized materials and equipment. His position is integral to the facility’s operational readiness, bridging procurement planning with field execution by validating requirements, managing stock levels, and facilitating just-in-time delivery for facility upgrades and utility system repairs. He supports a wide range of acquisition activities centered on construction services and facility modernization, working closely with contracting specialists to align supply needs with project timelines. Lively collaborates with a network of vendors specializing in building trades and utility infrastructure, including plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and drywall contractors. While no single contractor dominates his procurement interactions, his role consistently engages with firms possessing the technical certifications and compliance credentials required for Coast Guard facilities. His working relationships are characterized by precision in material specification, adherence to federal supply standards, and close coordination with project engineers to avoid delays in construction cycles. Lively’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his associated acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations. This indicates a focus on technical capability and performance over socioeconomic categorization, though he remains compliant with all federal small business participation requirements. His approach prioritizes mission need and regulatory compliance, ensuring that all sourced materials meet Coast Guard safety and environmental standards. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237130 (power and communication line construction), 238220 (plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning), and 236220 (commercial building construction), reflecting deep expertise in facility infrastructure sustainment. He routinely procures components for utility systems, structural upgrades, and climate-controlled environments essential to training operations, demonstrating specialized knowledge in construction materials, insulation systems, and energy-efficient building technologies.
