Darren K. Angelety serves as a SK3 Contracting Officer at U.S. Coast Guard Base New Orleans (70Z029), where he plays a pivotal role in executing facility infrastructure acquisitions critical to operational readiness. His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions for shore-based facilities, with a focus on building systems, utilities, and resilience-enhancing infrastructure. Angelety supports the agency’s mission to sustain and modernize maritime infrastructure by overseeing contracts aligned with federal building standards and environmental compliance. He typically handles complex, multi-disciplinary acquisitions requiring technical coordination across engineering, environmental, and facilities management domains. Angelety cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of contractors specializing in facility systems, transportation equipment, and professional services. While no single vendor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages with firms capable of delivering integrated solutions for plumbing, HVAC, and marine infrastructure support. His contracting approach emphasizes vendor reliability, technical competency, and adherence to federal acquisition regulations, fostering long-term partnerships with contractors who demonstrate capacity for mission-critical, high-integrity work. Angelety exhibits a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly 30% of his awards directed toward small business set-asides, including 8(a) competed contracts and Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. His procurement patterns reflect a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for small and disadvantaged businesses while maintaining mission fidelity. He strategically leverages set-aside authorities to promote equitable access without compromising the quality or timeliness of facility upgrades essential to Coast Guard operations. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), reflecting deep expertise in building systems modernization. He also regularly procures services under NAICS 611430 for workforce training and 423860 for specialized transportation equipment, demonstrating a technical understanding of both infrastructure and maritime support domains. Angelety’s work ensures that Base New Orleans maintains mission-ready facilities through targeted, compliant, and inclusive contracting practices.
