Dave Pearce

Dave Pearce serves as a key procurement lead at U.S. Coast Guard Base Cleveland (70Z030), overseeing facility sustainment and infrastructure modernization acquisitions critical to operational readiness across the Great Lakes region. He manages a portfolio of contracts focused on building envelope repairs, mechanical and electrical system upgrades, and environmental compliance initiatives, ensuring Coast Guard installations meet federal safety and resilience standards. His role centers on executing full-cycle contracting for capital improvement projects, from requirements definition through award and performance oversight, aligning procurement with the agency’s strategic infrastructure priorities. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly detailed, Pearce engages with specialized industrial contractors experienced in commercial copper fabrication, structural rehabilitation, and utility system modernization. His procurement approach emphasizes technical competency and compliance with federal construction and engineering standards, fostering long-term vendor partnerships with firms possessing proven expertise in facility lifecycle management and military-grade infrastructure support. Pearce’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions designated as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing mission-critical outcomes and contractor performance over targeted small business set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. His procurement activity is exclusively aligned with NAICS 331420—Copper Rolling, Drawing, Extruding, and Alloying—indicating a specialized focus on high-purity copper products used in electrical grounding systems, conduit fabrication, and corrosion-resistant components critical to facility safety and electromagnetic integrity. This niche specialization underscores his technical expertise in materials science applications for federal infrastructure, ensuring compliance with Coast Guard standards for durability, conductivity, and environmental resilience in harsh maritime conditions.
