Donald Kibe

Donald Kibe serves as a Purchasing Agent at Base Cape COD (00052), a U.S. Coast Guard facility under the Department of Homeland Security, where he executes procurement actions critical to sustaining mission-critical infrastructure. Responsible for managing the acquisition of facility services and environmental operations, Kibe ensures compliance with federal contracting regulations while supporting the agency’s mission to maintain operational readiness through reliable physical asset management. His portfolio centers on solid waste collection and disposal services, aligning with the base’s environmental compliance and sustainability goals. He manages the full lifecycle of procurements—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring timely, lawful, and efficient delivery of essential services. Kibe maintains a consistent working relationship with GALLO CONSTRUCTION CO INC, the primary contractor supporting waste management and related facility services. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and long-term vendor partnerships, fostering reliability and operational continuity. While he engages with a limited pool of qualified vendors, his selection process prioritizes proven technical capability, regulatory adherence, and service quality over broad competition, reflecting the specialized nature of the services procured. Kibe’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects the agency’s reliance on highly specialized service providers with demonstrated expertise in hazardous and solid waste handling, rather than socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in his portfolio, all acquisitions remain fully compliant with FAR requirements and agency-wide small business goals. His primary procurement focus is NAICS 562111 (Solid Waste Collection), encompassing the acquisition of waste hauling, recycling coordination, hazardous material disposal, and landfill management services. Kibe’s technical expertise lies in environmental compliance, OSHA and EPA regulatory alignment, and the operational integration of waste services with Coast Guard facility logistics, ensuring that procurement decisions directly support environmental stewardship and mission resilience.
