Christopher A. Katz

Christopher A. Katz serves as a Contracting Officer for the U.S. Coast Guard’s Base National Capital Region (70Z0G8), responsible for managing the acquisition of critical infrastructure support services essential to operational readiness and facility sustainment. In this role, he executes full-cycle contracting actions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, ensuring compliance with federal mandates while advancing the agency’s mission to maintain secure, environmentally compliant, and mission-ready installations. His portfolio primarily encompasses facility maintenance, building systems modernization, and security enhancements, with a strong emphasis on HVAC upgrades, energy efficiency retrofits, and infrastructure resilience projects aligned with Department of Homeland Security priorities. While specific contractor relationships are not currently identifiable in the available data, Katz engages with a diverse pool of vendors capable of delivering complex facility services, including general contractors, mechanical and electrical systems specialists, and environmental compliance consultants. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and integrated project delivery models to ensure long-term operational reliability and lifecycle cost efficiency. Katz demonstrates a balanced commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately equal portions of his acquisitions set aside for total small business participation under FAR 19.5 and awarded without set-aside. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster competition while ensuring broad access for small businesses, including those certified under 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB programs, though no single socioeconomic category dominates his portfolio. His procurement focus is uniquely concentrated in two non-traditional NAICS categories—712110 (Museums) and 721110 (Hotels and Motels)—indicating a specialized need for facility management services in historically significant or federally operated lodging and cultural infrastructure within the National Capital Region. These acquisitions involve custodial, maintenance, security, and operational support services tailored to adaptive reuse and historic preservation standards, showcasing his technical expertise in managing complex, mission-critical real property assets under unique regulatory constraints.
