Pamela M Komer

Pamela M. Komer serves as a Contracting Officer for the U.S. Coast Guard under the Department of Homeland Security, overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure and engineering services essential to maritime safety and operational readiness. She manages a diverse portfolio of construction and facility modernization contracts, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing the Coast Guard’s mission to sustain and enhance waterfront infrastructure. Her acquisitions primarily support the design, repair, and construction of commercial and institutional facilities, utility systems, and engineered structures at coastal and inland installations, with a strong emphasis on resilience and long-term operational sustainability. Komer maintains collaborative relationships with a broad spectrum of prime contractors specializing in civil works, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and heavy engineering construction. While no single contractor dominates her award profile, she routinely engages qualified firms with proven expertise in federal construction delivery methods, including design-bid-build and construction management at-risk. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluation, and contractor accountability to meet stringent safety and environmental standards. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 95.6% of awards issued without set-asides. Nevertheless, she consistently allocates approximately 1.5% of her portfolio to each of the Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, Total Small Business, and HUBZone programs, demonstrating a measured but intentional commitment to socioeconomic contracting objectives under FAR Part 19. Komer’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), followed by electrical (238210) and HVAC/plumbing (238220) contractors, with significant activity in water and sewer infrastructure (237110) and other heavy civil works (237990). She specializes in procuring integrated facility systems that support mission-critical operations, requiring deep familiarity with building codes, utility integration, and federal construction standards for federal installations.
