Charlene Garcia

Charlene Garcia serves as a SUPPO (Supporting Procurement Professional) at Base Cape COD(00052), a critical U.S. Coast Guard facility under the Department of Homeland Security. In this role, she supports the acquisition of facility services essential to maintaining operational readiness and environmental compliance across Coast Guard infrastructure. Her responsibilities include managing the procurement lifecycle for maintenance, repair, and modernization contracts covering HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and structural systems. She ensures all acquisitions align with federal regulations, agency mission priorities, and sustainability standards, facilitating timely delivery of mission-critical asset support services. Garcia maintains a strong working relationship with GALLO CONSTRUCTION CO INC, a primary contractor for facility infrastructure projects. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in federal facility maintenance, often engaging firms with demonstrated experience in complex, regulated environments. She fosters collaborative, performance-based vendor partnerships that emphasize quality control, safety compliance, and long-term asset resilience, ensuring contractors meet stringent Coast Guard operational and environmental standards. Her contracting portfolio reflects a strong emphasis on open competition, with 75% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. However, she consistently supports small business participation, allocating 25% of acquisitions to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced commitment to both efficiency and socioeconomic goals without reliance on specialized programs like 8(a) or HUBZone. Garcia’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 454310 (Waste Collection), NAICS 562211 (Hazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal), and NAICS 711219 (Other Spectator Sports), though the latter likely reflects data anomalies. Her core technical domain involves environmental remediation, hazardous material management, and facility systems maintenance. She procures services related to hazardous waste handling, infrastructure upgrades, and compliance-driven maintenance, reflecting deep expertise in environmental regulatory frameworks and federal facility sustainment.
