Mkc Kenneth Ketcham

Mkc Kenneth Ketcham serves as a key procurement lead for U.S. Coast Guard Base PORTSMOUTH (70Z027), overseeing the acquisition of facility maintenance, construction, and environmental services critical to sustaining mission-critical infrastructure. Responsible for ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations and operational readiness standards, Ketcham manages a portfolio of contracts focused on barracks modernization, hazardous material remediation, and infrastructure resilience projects. His work directly supports the Base’s mission to maintain safe, functional, and environmentally compliant facilities across the Coast Guard’s operational footprint. Ketcham maintains consistent partnerships with a core group of contractors including A TO B CREATIONS INC, PARLIAMENT LLC, DOORS ON DEMAND, LLC, VISION CONTRACTING INC, and MASTERS MECHANICAL CORPORATION. These vendors are frequently engaged for specialty trades such as HVAC, electrical, plumbing, structural repairs, and facility systems integration. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability, technical proficiency, and past performance, fostering long-term working relationships with firms that demonstrate consistent quality and adherence to federal safety and environmental protocols. Ketcham exhibits a strong, unwavering commitment to small business participation, with 100% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity for small, locally based firms and ensures broad community engagement in federal infrastructure projects. His contracting practices consistently prioritize socioeconomic programs that empower small businesses without requiring specific certifications like 8(a) or HUBZone, focusing instead on overall small business eligibility. While NAICS data is not currently available, Ketcham’s acquisitions center on facility maintenance, construction management, and environmental remediation services—domains requiring specialized expertise in building systems, safety compliance, and sustainable infrastructure practices. His technical focus lies in sustaining aging Coast Guard assets through targeted, code-compliant upgrades and preventive maintenance programs.
