Marian Tauber

Marian Tauber serves as a key procurement lead within Base Elizabeth City (70Z081), an operational unit of the U.S. Coast Guard under the Department of Homeland Security, where they manage acquisitions critical to sustaining aviation infrastructure, facility maintenance, and environmental compliance. Responsible for executing full-cycle contracting actions, Tauber ensures mission readiness by securing specialized services that support air station operations, utility systems, and regulatory adherence. Their portfolio primarily encompasses construction, technical testing, and IT infrastructure contracts aligned with the Coast Guard’s strategic priorities in maritime and aviation asset sustainment. Tauber maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, including C-PHASE SERVICES, LLC for facility modernization, STERILECO LLC for environmental sanitation services, MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC for site and infrastructure work, ROCHE DIAGNOSTICS CORPORATION for specialized testing equipment, and JOHNS BROTHERS SECURITY, INC for physical security systems. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven technical capability in mission-critical domains, often awarded through competitive sealed bidding and small business set-asides. A strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting is evident in Tauber’s pattern of awarding 87.5% of contracts under the Total Small Business Set-Aside authority (FAR 19.5), demonstrating a deliberate focus on empowering small business participation. While no other specific set-aside categories dominate, the consistent reliance on small business contractors underscores a dedication to fostering local economic resilience and enhancing competition within the defense support sector. Tauber’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 238220 (plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors), 237110 (water and sewer construction), 541380 (testing laboratories), 518210 (data infrastructure services), and 339950 (sign manufacturing). These reflect deep technical expertise in facility systems, environmental compliance, and operational support services essential to maintaining Coast Guard air station readiness and infrastructure integrity.
