David Lieberman

David Lieberman, LT, serves as a contracting officer at U.S. Coast Guard Base Cleveland (70Z030), where he manages the acquisition of facility sustainment and infrastructure support services critical to operational readiness across the Great Lakes region. His responsibilities include planning, soliciting, and awarding contracts for building envelope repairs, mechanical and electrical system upgrades, and environmental compliance initiatives that ensure federal facility standards are met. Lieberman plays a pivotal role in executing the Base’s mission to modernize and secure Coast Guard infrastructure through timely, compliant, and performance-based acquisitions. Lieberman’s contractor relationships are primarily with firms specializing in commercial transportation equipment rental and leasing services, reflecting the unique logistical demands of maintaining mobile and fixed Coast Guard assets. He works with a broad base of vendors providing specialized equipment such as aerial lifts, marine staging platforms, and heavy-duty material handling systems essential for facility maintenance operations. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, his procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, safety compliance, and rapid response capabilities, fostering long-term partnerships with firms capable of supporting mission-critical, on-demand service delivery. Lieberman’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic decision to prioritize technical capability and operational readiness over socioeconomic preferences, ensuring access to the broadest possible pool of qualified vendors with the specialized equipment and expertise required for complex infrastructure tasks. His primary focus lies in NAICS 532411, Commercial Air, Rail, and Water Transportation Equipment Rental and Leasing, indicating a deep specialization in procuring temporary, high-utilization equipment rather than permanent construction or capital improvements. His domain expertise centers on the logistical and safety requirements of deploying industrial-grade equipment in maritime and facility environments, making him a key liaison between operations and supply chain support in the Coast Guard’s infrastructure lifecycle.
