Deborah Cefaratti

Deborah S. Cefaratti serves as a key procurement professional within Base Alameda (70Z031), a critical U.S. Coast Guard facility under the Department of Homeland Security. She manages acquisitions that support the sustainment, modernization, and operational readiness of maritime infrastructure across the Pacific region, including facilities, utilities, and mission-critical systems. Her work directly enables the Coast Guard’s strategic priorities in environmental compliance, workforce safety, and infrastructure resilience. Cefaratti typically handles complex service and construction contracts requiring technical oversight, compliance with federal construction codes, and integration with federal environmental regulations. While specific contractor names are not available, her procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with specialty trade contractors, industrial maintenance providers, and niche manufacturers supporting naval and maritime operations. She fosters collaborative vendor partnerships with firms capable of delivering high-integrity, code-compliant work in constrained operational environments, often requiring coordination with federal environmental and safety standards. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and long-term facility reliability over short-term cost savings. Cefaratti demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with over 63% of her acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5. An additional 1.8% are competitively awarded to 8(a) firms, reflecting a deliberate strategy to broaden participation among disadvantaged small businesses. Her portfolio minimizes no-set-aside awards, signaling a proactive effort to leverage small business innovation and capacity in support of Coast Guard missions. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors) and 238320 (Painting and Wall Covering Contractors), indicating heavy reliance on facility maintenance and renovation services. She also procures specialized equipment under 334511 for nautical and detection systems, and commercial/industrial machinery repair under 811310. This technical profile reveals deep expertise in facility lifecycle management, maritime infrastructure support, and compliance-driven maintenance contracting.
