Edwar Uceta

Edwar Uceta serves as an MK1 Contracting Officer at U.S. Coast Guard Base Cleveland (70Z030), where he is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of facility sustainment and infrastructure modernization acquisitions. His portfolio centers on mission-critical projects that ensure the operational readiness of Coast Guard facilities across the Great Lakes region, including building envelope repairs, mechanical and electrical system upgrades, and environmental compliance initiatives. Uceta plays a pivotal role in executing the agency’s strategic priorities through timely, compliant, and efficient contracting actions that align with federal facility management standards and DoD/USCG infrastructure resilience goals. While specific contractor names are not publicly enumerated, Uceta maintains consistent working relationships with a network of qualified plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors who specialize in federal facility maintenance and retrofitting. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, technical evaluation of bid proposals, and rigorous compliance with federal acquisition regulations, fostering collaborative partnerships with vendors capable of delivering high-integrity, code-compliant systems in sensitive operational environments. Uceta demonstrates a robust commitment to small business participation, with 100% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity for small, locally based firms and ensure community engagement in critical infrastructure projects. His contracting patterns consistently prioritize socioeconomic programs that support small business growth and regional economic development. His primary technical focus is on NAICS 238220—Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors—reflecting deep expertise in HVAC system replacements, hydronic distribution upgrades, refrigerant compliance, and energy-efficient retrofitting. Uceta’s procurement decisions are grounded in technical specifications for building systems that enhance energy resilience, reduce lifecycle costs, and meet federal sustainability mandates, making him a key steward of facility infrastructure integrity within the Coast Guard’s Great Lakes operational footprint.
