Donald Biebel

Donald Biebel serves as a key procurement lead within the C5I Division 2 at Kearneysville, part of the U.S. Coast Guard under the Department of Homeland Security. He is responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize critical command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, and information systems essential to maritime domain awareness and operational readiness. His portfolio centers on securing resilient, secure, and interoperable IT infrastructure to support Coast Guard missions including vessel tracking, search-and-rescue coordination, and cyber-secure communications. Biebel typically handles complex IT service contracts requiring high assurance, compliance with NIST standards, and integration with legacy maritime systems. His contractor relationships are primarily with information technology service providers delivering computing infrastructure, data processing, and cloud-enabled hosting solutions. While specific vendor names are not publicly disclosed, his procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with firms capable of supporting classified and unclassified environments under DHS cybersecurity frameworks. He fosters partnerships with vendors who demonstrate proven experience in secure data center operations, network modernization, and mission-critical system integration for federal maritime operations. Biebel demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 66.7% of his acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate a diverse supplier base capable of meeting the technical demands of C5I modernization. His contracting patterns prioritize socioeconomic programs that enhance innovation and capacity within the small business ecosystem, particularly those with expertise in federal IT services. His procurement focus is exclusively on NAICS 518210—Computing Infrastructure Providers, Data Processing, Web Hosting, and Related Services. This specialization underscores his expertise in procuring cloud-based platforms, data center services, network operations support, and managed IT infrastructure critical to maintaining secure, scalable, and interoperable C5I systems for the Coast Guard’s national security missions.
