LCDR Cameron Welicka

LCDR Cameron Welicka serves as a key procurement lead within the 7th Coast Guard District Office, responsible for managing facility sustainment and environmental support contracts critical to operational readiness. In this role, he ensures that infrastructure maintenance, landscaping, and grounds management services meet stringent Coast Guard standards for safety, cleanliness, and environmental compliance. His acquisitions directly support the agency’s mission to sustain mission-critical installations across the southeastern United States and Caribbean, focusing on long-term facility health and workforce support. Welicka handles task and delivery order contracts under GSA schedules and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles, prioritizing performance-based service contracts that align with federal facility management best practices. Welicka maintains collaborative relationships with a broad network of small business contractors specializing in landscape maintenance, irrigation systems, invasive species control, and sustainable grounds management. He works closely with vendors who demonstrate expertise in environmentally sensitive site operations, including stormwater compliance and native vegetation management. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory adherence, and responsiveness, fostering long-term vendor partnerships that ensure consistent service delivery across geographically dispersed Coast Guard facilities. A staunch advocate for small business inclusion, Welicka applies a 100% small business set-aside preference across all eligible acquisitions, consistently directing contracts to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSBs), HUBZone firms, and other small disadvantaged businesses. His procurement patterns reflect a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic goals under FAR Part 19, ensuring equitable access to federal opportunities while maintaining high performance standards. His primary technical focus is on NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services), where he procures comprehensive grounds maintenance, turf management, tree care, erosion control, and environmental remediation services. He possesses deep domain expertise in sustainable landscaping practices, integrated pest management, and compliance with federal environmental regulations such as the Clean Water Act and EPA Stormwater Management guidelines, ensuring that all contracted services enhance both operational readiness and ecological stewardship.
