Heather S. Brubeck

Heather N. Brubeck serves as a Contract Specialist with the U.S. Coast Guard’s FDCC (70Z047), where she manages the acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure and support services essential to operational readiness and personnel welfare. Her portfolio centers on the planning, solicitation, and award of construction and engineering contracts for facilities including training centers, command hubs, and family housing. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the Coast Guard’s strategic priorities in modernizing its national infrastructure. Brubeck routinely handles complex, multi-disciplinary contracts requiring coordination between design professionals, construction contractors, and utility system specialists to support 24/7 maritime operations. She maintains established working relationships with key contractors including FIBER BUSINESS SOLUTIONS GROUP INC, WHITING-TURNER CONTRACTING COMPANY, and RQ CONSTRUCTION, LLC, reflecting a preference for experienced, full-service firms capable of delivering integrated building and specialty trade solutions. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluation, and long-term contractor reliability, fostering partnerships with vendors who demonstrate proven expertise in federal construction environments and adherence to stringent safety and quality standards. Brubeck exhibits a strong commitment to small business participation, with 43.6% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While no other socioeconomic set-asides dominate her portfolio, her consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for qualified small contractors in the federal construction sector, aligning with broader DHS and Coast Guard socioeconomic goals. Her primary NAICS focus areas include Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (236220), Specialty Trade Contractors (238990), and Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors (238220), alongside Engineering Services (541330). This reflects deep expertise in procuring integrated facility systems—from structural construction to MEP installations—and technical oversight of projects requiring coordination between architectural, mechanical, and electrical disciplines to sustain mission-critical Coast Guard operations.
