Cassandra A Walbert

Cassandra A. Walbert serves as a Contract Specialist within the U.S. Coast Guard’s LOG-9 organization (Code: 70Z084), where she plays a critical role in executing life-cycle support acquisitions essential to shore-based and maritime operational readiness. She is responsible for managing the full procurement lifecycle—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-aligned outcomes. Her portfolio primarily encompasses solid waste collection and environmental services that sustain the Coast Guard’s facility operations, training sites, and coastal infrastructure, directly supporting the agency’s mission to maintain safe, functional, and environmentally compliant working environments. Walbert maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including GILMAN CORPORATION THE, FRONTLINE ENTERPRISES LLC, ISN ALLIANCE LLC, S3 SOLUTIONS ONE LLC, and FAZTEC INDUSTRIES INC. These vendors are selected for their proven capacity to deliver reliable, compliant, and scalable waste management and environmental support services across diverse geographic locations. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, clear statement of work definitions, and rigorous contractor accountability to ensure service continuity and environmental stewardship. She demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, directing 100% of her acquisitions under the Total Small Business Set-Aside authority (FAR 19.5). This consistent preference ensures that small businesses—particularly those owned by veterans, women, and socially and economically disadvantaged individuals—have equitable access to Coast Guard contracting opportunities, reinforcing federal socioeconomic goals. Her technical expertise centers on NAICS 562111 (Solid Waste Collection), where she specializes in procuring municipal-style waste haulage, recycling coordination, hazardous material handling, and janitorial support services tailored to federal maritime and shore installations. Her domain knowledge includes environmental compliance, waste stream segregation, and contractor performance metrics tied to federal sustainability mandates.
