Mack Kelley

Mack Kelley serves as a Purchasing Agent for Base Alameda (70Z031), a critical U.S. Coast Guard installation under the Department of Homeland Security. In this role, he manages the acquisition of goods and services essential to sustaining and modernizing maritime infrastructure, including facility upgrades, security systems, and specialized metal components. His procurement activities directly support the agency’s mission to ensure operational readiness, environmental compliance, and workforce safety across the Pacific region. Kelley handles a diverse portfolio of contracts spanning construction-related services, fabricated metal products, and security system installations, ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical timelines. Kelley maintains collaborative relationships with a broad spectrum of vendors, particularly those certified under socioeconomic programs, reflecting his emphasis on small business participation. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages with firms capable of delivering specialized fabricated metal components, electrical installation services, and integrated security systems. His procurement approach prioritizes responsiveness, technical capability, and compliance, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors who understand the unique operational demands of Coast Guard facilities. A strong advocate for small business inclusion, Kelley consistently structures acquisitions with a 72.7% set-aside preference for small businesses under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. His pattern of awarding contracts to small, qualified firms—particularly those certified as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB—supports both mission needs and national policy objectives for equitable economic opportunity. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 332999 (miscellaneous fabricated metal products), 561621 (security systems services), and 336413 (other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment), indicating deep expertise in industrial fabrication, physical security infrastructure, and aviation support systems. Kelley’s technical acumen enables him to evaluate complex requirements for custom metal components, integrated surveillance systems, and facility-specific equipment, ensuring acquisitions meet stringent Coast Guard safety and operational standards.
